He was dedicated to the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Browns, no matter how bad they played. John enjoyed golfing, working on lawnmowers, painting, Vacations to Bermuda and Myrtle Beach, yard sales, feeding the daily critters that came into the yard, playing miniature golf, (where he always thought he was the true peoples champion). He loved his 2 kitties, his Friday night phone call from Bill Hooper and always loved getting together with family and friends. He was truly a great person and will be missed by all that knew him.
