John was a motorcycle enthusiast who loved nothing more than to ride the back roads, The Dragons Tail and the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway. He loved being outdoors, camping, and just enjoying life.

He was a dedicated family man who loved his children & grandchildren more that anything in the world. He was a man of few words but could always offer great advice or solutions to problems. He would be the first to offer help if needed and the last to leave. His smile could light up a room. He will be truly missed and forever in the hearts of all who knew him.
