John enjoyed grilling for special occasions and took great pride in serving his customers, but he loved his family above all else.

He was a friend to all who met him and enjoyed sharing every detail about his day. He was "at home" in the barn, on his cell phone and on the bleachers of his grandchildren's school events. He entered his eternal home on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the age of 58.
