John enjoyed many things, including traveling, telling jokes, writing poetry, being with family and friends, playing cards, Silver Sneakers, and watching baseball, football, and basketball.

He was active at Faith United Methodist Church (a life-long Methodist). At church, he was chairperson of the Ad. Council, on the staff parish committee, evangelist committee, adult Sunday school (taught some), and their softball team.

A private celebration of life took place and interment was at Columbarium at Faith United Methodist Church.
