He started at the bottom doing janitor work and began learning the skilled trade of being a machinist. He then later advanced to shop foreman and eventually plant manager. He loved crappie fishing and tournaments, hunting, and coaching his kids’ sporting events. John was always working on a project, and he always finished them. He also loved restoring vehicles and construction projects. He was a great handyman. Someone was always calling him for help, and he was always more than happy to help. More than anything, John loved spending time with his family.
