He married Cheryl (Tunell) Robson on July 19, 1986 and raised a daughter, Marina.
John had a lifelong passion for everything car related. After retirement, he started a part time “dream job” driving cars for the Ford dealership. His prized possession was his motorcycle. He loved going on motorcycle rides with his church group. His faith was very important to him. One of the many things he appreciated about Freshwater Church was the mission trips he was able to participate in.
