John has been a longtime supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Having battled two types of cancer during his lifetime he was always sad to see and hear of children who were battling cancer. It was his belief that "no child should ever have to endure the horrible pain and suffering of this terrible disease." With that thought in mind, in lieu of flowers we would like to request that donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in John’s memory.
