He was an avid reader and knew something about everything. He worked in landscape and construction. He was proud to be a member of James Island Presbyterian Church where he found overwhelming love and was the cut-up tenor in the chancel choir. He cherished teaching Mid-Hi Sunday School and enjoyed Saturday Morning Bible Study (breakfast). He cherished coaching his son’s soccer team where the point was to have fun and the wins were just an added bonus. John will be best remembered for his devotion to and protection of his family, upbeat personality and great sense of humor.
