Survived by sons Scott (Kathy) and Paul. Nancy Kaminski, grandchildren Kris (Ryan), Mike, Nikki, Joe, Jack.

Celebration of life date to be determined. John will be buried at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

John was a medical doctor and lieutenant in the Navy between 1957 and 1960. He spent time on a destroyer in the Arctic and on Okinawa, supporting the Marines.

He became a medical director of multiple companies, including Nabisco, Ford, and Zenith Electronics.

He had multiple hobbies, including tennis and golf, and he enjoyed theater, especially Shakespeare and Shakespeare festivals.

He will be remembered for his allergies to garlic and onions and the many questions he would ask servers to ensure that nothing he was allergic to ended up on his plate, much to the enjoyment (embarrassment) of everyone else at the table.
