This fund has been established for community betterment.
A lifelong hunter, fisherman, tennis player, gardener, and music lover who also took up skiing later in life, John had many passions, first among them the wellbeing of his family. He was an active philanthropist in the communities that helped shape him, serving on the boards of Wyoming Seminary, the Northeast Pennsylvania Philharmonic, as well as various other organizations. He often said that as the recipient of acts of kindness and generosity from countless people, he felt obliged to repay and pass on that generosity in any way he could as an expression of gratitude to those who helped him in good times and in bad, especially his family and his teachers at Wyoming Seminary. Those who knew John best loved him for his loyalty, generosity, charisma, sense of humor, intelligence, problem-solving ability, boundless energy, and enthusiasm for life.
