John was born at home in Fort Howard, Maryland to the late Jesse and Elsie (nee Gude) Capps. He enjoyed crabbing and fishing on Shallow Creek and surrounding waters while growing up.

After his years in the Navy, he worked for 40 years in the Open Hearth and at the Basic Oxygen Furnace for Bethlehem Steel Corporation. After retirement, John enjoyed tending his yard, watching football, woodworking, and most of all, spending time with his family.
