John was a High Priest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many capacities.
John was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed the company of his sons and brothers and traveling with Harriett in their trailer. He also loved working in his yard and garden which was the envy of the neighborhood.
