John was a big teddy bear with a large heart and immense love for his family. Never one for many words, but his actions spoke volumes. He was always there to lend a hand and was such a great husband, brother, friend and father. His kindness and compassion touched many people in this world. Through all the surgeries, struggles and scares he always had his quirky smile on his face ready to face it all. We were not ready for him to go, but God called him home and he is now at peace.
