John married the love of his life, Joan Plunkett, on December 5th, 1977. Shortly after they expanded their family by having a girl and two boys. As their children grew up and had their own children, it doubled their family in size. Overjoying John with the precious gift of his grandchildren. John is a generous and selfless man. He looked out for his family and made sure they never went without. Family is the number one thing in life that he cherished the most.

John spent most of his life working as a truck driver for Sharp Transport for over 20 years until his health led him to spend more time at home and with his family.
