John loved his family and the friends that he considered family. He was the life of the party, and always had a good time when he was around. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and just spending time with his friends. He knew a lot of people, and a lot of people knew him. There was never anyone that he considered a stranger, or no one that he couldn't have a good time with.
