John’s greatest gift in life was his three children. John was a member of several golf, hunting and fishing clubs. His most cherished memberships were in the Barataria Hilton and the Mr. Big Hunting and Fishing Club. John was an accomplished, talented athlete and an avid outdoorsman throughout his life. Watching his grandchildren play competitive sports is what brought him the most joy during his last decade.
