He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force between 1955 to 1960 where he was a drill instructor.

On April 30, 1961, John married the love of his life, Carolyn Cutler at the St. Madeleine Sophie church in Schenectady, NY.
John enjoyed collecting old coins and antique cars.
In addition to his parents, John is predeceased by his sisters, Louise (Stipano) Benardo (Pat) and Theresa (Stipano) Welch (John); and his brother-in-law, Bob MacLea.
