John was quite a storyteller who often entertained others with detail and perhaps a bit of embellishment. He was not necessarily a traditional outdoorsman, but he loved spending time with his son John, on his property in Peebles, target shooting, riding his four-wheeler, and riding his big green John Deere tractor. John had been an avid golfer and enjoyed spending time with his loved ones. He became quite a foodie and would welcome folks to his house by cooking something up just for them. Whether you arrived hungry or not, you could not resist the creation knowing it was prepared just for you and would taste amazing.
