He took great pride in coaching his kids in sports. He loved spending the day fishing, playing football, taking vacations, playing Bingo with family, or drawing.

He had a great sense of humor, joking and teasing all of his family. A Christian by faith, he was a member of Christian Chapel Foursquare in Wichita, KS. Also, he attended Echota Baptist Church in Rocky Mountain, OK, his family's church. The Lord called John from this life on January 25th, 2014 in Tahlequah, OK. John was 74 years old.
