An Indiana Hoosier by birth, John graduated from Purdue University receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics. He was a member and president of Pi Kappa Phi Social Fraternity. Following his graduation, he began a career in Human Resources with RCA and continued with Inland Containe Corporation, Batesville Casket Company (a division of Hillenbrand Industries), Kusan Inc., and Baptist Hospital holding VP positions.

John's dedication to helping others was an inspiration to many throughout his life. He gave of himself without hesitation and his love for family and friends was without boundaries. He will be missed by so many he touched.
