John enjoyed cooking so much and even catered for several friends’ and family’s wedding receptions.

He will be remembered for his quick and sarcastic humor and the ability to make those around him smile. He was a loving father who enjoyed having his family around him, all who have many cherished memories to share! His love for animals almost challenged his love for family. John also loved anything related to Star Wars & Star Trek.

John had a long successful Information Technology career. One that started in St louis while attending Valley Park Junior College, and later employed by several large corporations in Missouri, California, and Colorado.

In lieu of flowers, he would appreciate you donating what you can to the Humane Society.
