John was always ready to lend a hand, share a prayer, or offer support to anyone in need.  John was also an avid reader who enjoyed reading about multiple topics, including his two favorites: religion and nutrition.  John’s heart was always in the right place and made time for a conversation on the telephone or in person for anyone who needed advice or just wanted to talk.
