He worked for Cunningham Drugs in the Fort Lauderdale area, Hooks in Indiana, Eckerd Drug in the Orlando area, and a handful of other smaller pharmacies. He retired from Publix Pharmacy in Pompano Beach 2011 and resided with his twin brother in the house in which they grew up.
John was a world traveler and talented photographer, backpacking several months each year across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. His favorite country to visit was Ireland, where he felt instantly at home in their friendly pubs and bucolic countryside.
John was a member Broward Mensa, and an avid gardener. He will also be remembered for his strong sense of humor and love for his granddaughters.
John's ashes will be scattered at sea in a private ceremony to continue to travel the ocean currents of the world.
