John was a second-generation residential contractor who started building with his father at the age of 13. He built houses in West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina. Another passion of his was cooking his famous barbecue and frying turkeys all of which he shared with neighbors and friends. Many of his Hampton Pointe Neighbors have said their mouths would water when he fired up his smoker. He loved nature, especially feeding his birds that he and Angie enjoyed watching from their den and he adored his fur babies, Tigger and Millie.  He loved his Lord, his Family and his Country.  He will be missed by so many whose lives he touched.
