John was born July 14, 1947 in Brooklyn, NY. During his senior year in high school, he joined the U.S. Navy and served his country for four years. After his enlistment, he moved to Waterbury, CT where he met and married the love of his life, JoAnn. He began his career in Law Enforcement working for the Waterbury Police Department. After 10 years, John and his family moved to Florida. For over 20 years, he worked as a Federal Marshal guarding the Space Shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center. John was a lifetime member of the American Legion and had active roles in the 40/8. John loved history and he loved his country. He always said his greatest pride in life was his two daughters.
