John loved his 45-year career and spent the last 37 working for US Airways which later merged with American Airlines. His talent for problem solving and mechanical skills were not limited to airplanes. There was nothing he could not fix. John brought light and laughter to everyone and everywhere he went. He loved traveling, boating, music, but most of all time with his family and friends. Nothing was more important than making memories with those he loved. John returned home to his parents on his 68th birthday. He bravely fought heart disease for the past 25 years for his family. We could not have given him a more beautiful present. We will miss his love, stories, sense of humor and his passion for life. John always gave 1000%.
