John was an employee of the Tooele Army Depot for 28 years, meeting some of his dearest and closest friends there. From the time he was a child, John hunted in Middle Canyon with his father and brother. Trap shooting, however, was his first love. Shooting in many local tournaments and throughout the Salt Lake Valley. He was an avid collector, surfing the Internet for bargains on anything from pocket watches to tea pots for his wife. John always gave the best "to the point" advice and had a loyalty to his family that will be greatly missed. He could debate most any topic with great ease and intelligence.
