John was an Army Veteran that served in Vietnam.  He loved and honored his country.  He was the backbone of the gymkhana club Massachusetts Rough Riders Inc.  He volunteered countless hours to the club from the footing of the ground to the books.  He was at home behind the microphone in the announcers booth and rooted on the youngest to the oldest riders.  His voice reached far and wide and will always be remembered.

He was a lifelong resident of East Bridgewater.  He was a postal worker in town for many years.  He could always be found working the tractor at the Ford Family Farm.  He loved gardening, bird watching, yard sales, riding horses, real estate and accomplishing at least one thing a day every day.
