growing up in the small town of Parowan, Utah. He loved the people and
appreciated the opportunities that were passed on to him by the people of
Parowan. Before a recent move to Idaho, John and Sue lived in the town of Park
City for over 20 years and made many long lasting relationships. He loved and
cared for so many people especially the youth. He loved coaching the
basketball team for Park City High and driving his bus full of so many
children. He is survived by his wife and their five beautiful adult children
