John was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend; a skilled engineer, musician and artist, and someone who saw his purpose as being to bring help, life, love and laughter to everyone around him.
We are devastated at his loss, but thankful that he is now at rest and in a better place.
We welcome you to join us as we give thanks for his life.
