In his younger years, John was active in his community, building roads, sitting on various planning boards and spent much time with his local Elks Club. Retired from CDTA Grampa John enjoyed cooking magnificent meals and sharing his delightful fudge with family and friends. A devoted car racing fan, John shared many joyous stories from his "dirt racing days" as a flagman for many of the areas local tracks and Sunday's NASCAR won't be the same without the devoted Richard Petty racing fan.
