From New York to New Mexico and then to Oklahoma, the family also lived in several northeastern Oklahoma communities before finally settling in Claremore. Employed by Newspaper Printing Corporation for 20 years, John worked as a pressman. He was the president of the Printer's Local Union. John was a very caring person, putting others' needs before his own. His faith in God and the love of his family took priority in his life. He enjoyed spending free time with his children and was always available when they needed his help. This loving father, son, brother and friend will be missed by all who knew him.
