John attended many sporting events to cheer on his daughters and then his grandchildren. His encouragement extended to all of their varied interests over the years. He loved to read, listen to music and sing, he never met a stranger.
Johnny's sense of humor and wonderful infectious laugh will be missed by all who knew him.
