John transplanted from the Massachusetts and Connecticut area to North Carolina in 1989, and was a former Senior Software Program Engineer who always had a desire to learn. He was a man of humor, intelligence, compassion, and many other great attributes. He loved his family and was proud of each of them for their many successes. John had a love for baseball and other sports and made sure everyone felt included when he participated in them. He loved cats and dogs and found happiness in sheltering or caring for the many that crossed his path. He is now playing the greatest baseball game of his life in the "field of dreams," and is at peace.
