John helped deliver Meals on Wheels to local senior citizens for several years until his health no longer permitted him to do so.
He liked to play his harmonica at the Tecumseh Senior Citizen Center and was Frontier Days King two or three years ago.
John was witty and loved to entertain others or bring a smile to their face.
