Affectionately regarded as "PaPa", John was an avid Oakland Raiders fan and BBQ champion. He also enjoyed camping and being a part of the "Garage Time Gang". His garage was the neighborhood hub for all to gather for good television, conversation, and laughter. His dearest loves were his family and his dog, PJ.
