John was a 1966 graduate of North Braddock Scott High School.  Upon finishing his schooling, he embarked on a career with U.S. Steel Edgar Thompson Works in Braddock.  John was employed with E.T. Works for over 37 years and held numerous positions throughout his tenure, most notably as a hydraulics specialist.  John enjoyed taking camping trips to Clarion, PA and was an avid pet lover.  Those who knew him well would agree he was loved by two dogs, Cashew and Wally, and hated by one bird, Harley.  John was a skilled, hardworking individual who will be sorely missed by his family, whom he treasured most in life.
