John had a strong passion for and commitment to the Yuma community. He was a councilman, lifetime member of Elks Club 476, a member of the Yuma Navy League, and supporter of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson. He was a strong advocate of preserving Yuma's rich history and diverse cultural heritage, as well as the community's athletic parks and public spaces. John traveled just about everywhere to promote Yuma as a year-round destination and was instrumental in inviting and welcoming group tours from Europe to come to visit.
John lived life to the fullest. From Siberia to South America he never said 'no' to an adventure or a new experience. While he was an avid world traveler, he loved exploring his desert backyard and attending the shows at the Yuma Art Center & Historic Theatre. He liked to get his hands dirty in the garden, and play with his pups, Freddy and Patty. He also enjoyed his regular meetings with the Yuma Landing Coffee Bunch.
