John hated political correctness (but loved a good debate), lawyers (yet ended up with three in the immediate family), instant mashed potatoes (no exceptions), and long pants. John was an active and dedicated member of the community, supporting numerous causes and helping those in need. John was well loved and well respected. He worked hard, played hard, and took care of those he loved. He was truly a King.
