In 1954, John enlisted into the United States Army as a Private First Class. He served until 1957 and received an Honorable discharge. He was an extraordinary brick mason. You could always find him in the yard with his friends talking about laying bricks. Even in the nursing care facility they recall him always waking up and saying he had to be to work at 4:00AM. John was a perfectionist about his work because he loved what he did. Most of all he had such a loving and caring spirit that will truly be missed.
