He is survived by his devoted wife, Donna; his children, Michele (Karl) Bendy and Suzanne (Timothy) Parker; and his grandchildren, Melissa (Charles), Amanda (Scott), Matthew (Anna), John, and Andrew (Hannah).

John's life was filled with the simple pleasures of family and creativity, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him. His gentle spirit, warm smile, and passion for the arts and the outdoors will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
