John worked as a probation and parole officer for the Department of Corrections in New Orleans and in Kansas City. He had an uncommon level of compassion for his clients and a special ability to connect with them, understand their needs and help them improve their lives.

John deeply enjoyed reading, discussing spirituality, cooking food from many different cultures and eating it with friends, listening to good music of many genres, and exploring the wooded areas surrounding where he lived.

John was a committed follower of Jesus Christ. He loved his wife and sons faithfully and worked hard as the provider for the family for 25 years, allowing Lisa to fulfill their desire to homeschool their sons.
