He was also a member of the Aspers Volunteer Ambulance Company where he served as a driver and Emergency Responder. When not volunteering he was a carpenter and roofer.  He loved building things and working with his hands.

John was a huge EAGLES, Phillies, and Flyer’s fan. He wore his jerseys proudly!!!! He loved to BBQ and BBQ chicken was his favorite thing to make for his Princess Allie.  He loved camping, swimming, fishing, hunting (in his youth), playing board games, country music and making slime with Allie.  He had a laugh that made you smile! John will be missed by so many – his Princess will miss playing Roblox and Minecraft with him, watching silly cop TV shows, showing him what she learned at gymnastics, and we will all miss his amazing hugs!

He is enjoying all the Tasty cakes, Cokes and Coors Lights he wants! Goose, share them with our boy Joshua! We ALL Loved you Much!!!!
