John was a Christian gentleman, being especially proud of serving in the United States Air Force as a fuel specialist, mostly in Alaska and during the great earthquake, but also in other parts of the world. A devoted family man, husband, father, grandfather and friend. With a talent for conversation, John never missed an opportunity to meet a new friend. John was an avid hunter and fisherman who knew the ways of the woods and waters, a quotMasterquot carpenter, who quotworked with the and learned from the restquot, but, one of his greatest loves was working with the Boy Scouts. John was our Scoutmaster in Junction for some 12 years and afterwards continued to serve faithfully on the Scout Committee until his passing. His hard work he thought it was fun and dedication will long be gratefully cherished. All that knew and loved him will truly miss him.
