John attended IUPUI. He owned his own computer business for a number of years and later worked for 20 years as a district sales manager for Ames Drywall Tools of Escondido, California and retired in 2010.

John was a dedicated volunteer at St. Vincent Hospital. He loved the outdoors, hiking, bicycling and flying kites. He enjoyed music and playing his guitar in jam sessions with friends and family. He took great joy in burning bacon and toast for his grandkids during sleep overs. He was active for many years in various roles and ministries at Good Shepherd Catholic Church. His greatest joy in life came from activities and spending time with his sons and grandchildren. The highlight of his retirement years was a trip to Ireland with his wife, Betty, to celebrate their 50th Anniversary
