For a brief period, John was the owner of a local NH business, Lakes Region Tile, following in the footsteps of a family trade.

John was a talented athlete in school and an avid sports fan and outdoors man. After graduating, John played on several softball teams in NH; the highlight of his softball experience was participating with his team in the 1974 ASA Men’s Open Slow Pitch Nationals. John was a devoted fan of his beloved Boston sports teams, the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins, celebrating their combined 30 championships in his lifetime.
