John was a hardworking lineman who dedicated 45 years of service to CenterPoint Energy before retiring. He never met a stranger and had a gift for making everyone feel like a friend. A true jack of all trades, John could fix just about anything, or at least tell you exactly how to do it.

He cherished life’s simple joys: Jeep rides with Sandy, traveling, hunting, fishing, watching his grandson play baseball, cheering on his granddaughter at dance, and most of all, chasing his youngest grandson around with a smile that said it all.
