John was a beloved husband, brother, uncle, and friend. He was a managing lawyer for Community Legal Aid of Northeast Ohio. He had boundless energy and a sharp mind to provide assistance when serving those in need. John was a lover of friends, family, dogs, travel (particularly Cuba), cigars, music (particularly Springsteen), and cowboy boots.
During John’s journey’s with cancer, he was never his illness. He would sometimes say that he had the trifectas of cancer, colon at 41, liver at 45, and brain (glioblastoma) at 66. Nevertheless, he always found joy in the time spent with his family, friends, or dogs. His attitude was always one of positivity, perseverance, and finally acceptance. John lived with spirit and died with grace. We, that loved him, have a hole in our heart but such blessed memories.
