John was born in Martinsville Indiana and raised in Wildcherry Arkansas.
He accomplished a lot with only a sixth grade education by working his way through College with the help of the Catholic Church.
He served in the Army from 1941 to 1945 in which he fought in WW II.
Afterwards he worked on a Custom Combing Crew,

often share his produce with his friends and Neighbors.
