John attended Kent State University, studying art and graphic design. His greatest accomplishment was an award he received recognizing his painting of landscapes and lighthouses, in particular, a painting of Pearl Harbor.

He worked as an assembler at Delphi Packard Electric and as a driver for Enterprise. He loved watching and talking about sports, especially when the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers played, traveling and taking family vacations. His hobbies in retirement included his appearances as DJay “Johnny B. Good” at weddings and other events, and bowling with his church group.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

The family wishes to thank the caregivers, institutions and individuals who assisted Frank for their support and kindness.
