John was born Wednesday, October 6, 1954. In his 69 years of life on this earth, he spread so much love and kindness. John retired from Raineri Redi Mix Concrete company after an extensive employment. He enjoyed spending his free time with his family, going fishing, listening to the Oldies, going to the beach and watching old Westerns. John's greatest hobby was HO scale model railroading. He focused on Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific Railroad. A large section of the garage was overtaken by an impressive model train layout. He enjoyed sharing his love of trains with anyone that was willing to lend an ear; you may just get wrapped in longer than anticipated. Almost every weekend, John traveled to be part of the train shows. He was baptized into the hope of Christ resurrection just a short time before passing. John left us all with the reminder that a kind soul can change the world. He will be forever missed by many. Memorials can be made to Sheila Flora to help with the funeral expense.
