John enlisted in the Army for 4 years and has such great respect for this country that he continued his duties in the Army Reserves. When John and Angela got married, he worked as a mail carrier for the US Post Office. After having children, he moved on to work for the NYC MTA as a bus drive and worked his way up to supervisor. John loved playing baseball and watching the Mets. He also had a great love for the game of golf, but his greatest love was spending time with his friends and family. Many loved his jokes and funny stories. He will be greatly missed.
