In 1984, John was part of forming the company Advanced Data Reprographics where he worked for many years. In 2001, John moved to Loganville, GA with his wife to enjoy the warm weather where he continued to work and pursue his passion for golf. John had several hobbies, including playing in Waltham’s city softball, hockey, and bowling leagues, camping, riding his motorcycle, traveling, and golf. His passion for golf was more than a pastime. He spent countless hours on the golf course perfecting his game and playing with family and friends. He even accomplished his goal of hitting a hole in one. He enjoyed rooting for the Boston sports teams. Most important to John was his zest for life, spending time with Cathy and walking their dog, Rosie.
