John graduated from Perth Amboy High School in 1972 where he played football. He then went on to work for the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades Local 1976. He worked in this union for over 30 years as a Drywall Finisher. John was an extremely hardworking man, and made sure that his family was always provided for. As a child he loved going with his family to Nanticoke, PA,  to visit his grandparents. He also enjoyed going to amusement parks and taking vacations with his children when they were young. 

He was raised a devoted Catholic and made sure he attended church every Sunday with his children.  John was a die-hard Notre Dame football fan and loved watching football on the weekends. He enjoyed good food and wine and loved going out to dinner with his family. He also enjoyed fishing, crabbing, floating around in his pool, listening to his oldies music, taking vacations with his family, and reading the newspaper with his coffee early every morning. His love for his dogs was never unseen. He loved walking in the park with his dogs Bella and Jada and spoiling them like they were his children.
