He enjoyed spending time with his children and took them camping and fishing whenever he could. He also loved playing softball and bowling. John lived by the motto "Let the basics work for you". Life didn't need to be complicated or cluttered. It was to be enjoyed simply and fully. He was a committed father and made sure the needs of his children were met, always doing the best he could with what he had. He tried hard to instill the following in his children, hard work pays off, things will be fine if you live simply, have good morals, but be willing to fight to achieve what you want and always keep a good sense of humor.
