John was born on Oct. 2, 1948, in Kingston, Pa. He graduated from Kingston High School in 1966, and went on to earn a degree in clinical pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science.
John moved to Martha’s Vineyard and worked at Yates Drug Store and Leslie’s Pharmacy in Vineyard Haven. Retired from pharmacy, he then worked at the Tisbury Water Department.
John was an avid reader who also enjoyed baseball, football, and tennis. Later in life he found bicycling and fly-fishing; he built bikes, and designed and tied flies. John said, “Bicycling gave me my freedom, fishing became my joy.”
