John graduated from Nottingham High School and Central Tech., served honorably in the U.S. Army, and was a dedicated career employee of 37 years with Sears, Roebuck and Co.
John was an avid gardener. While raising a family, he grew primarily fruits and vegetables. His passion later focused on various perennials and annuals. He donated countless bouquets to family, friends, neighbors and local organizations.
