He is also survived and fondly remembered by his 18 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild (one late great-grandchild) along with many relatives, cousins and dear friends. John was born in New Orleans, LA and was a longtime resident of St. Bernard Parish before settling in Mandeville, LA. He retired from Domino Sugar Refinery after 34 years of service. John truly enjoyed life through his simple pleasures of hunting, gambling at the casino and just hanging out with his friends and family. His love of telling jokes was surpassed only by the love for his grandchildren. He will always be remembered for his dedication to his family, his laughter, and spoiling the grandchildren. He was a wonderful example of what it means to care for others and will be deeply missed by us all.
