John was a loving husband and father. He was loved and respected by his family and friends. John was a very talented man. He was a master at metal fabrication. He built an entire car himself from the ground up and lovingly called it "The Rat Rod" and it was his pride and joy. John spent many hours in his garage creating and working on old cars. He will be missed by so many. Fly with the angels Pop. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Root Funeral Home, 23 N.
