John was a lifelong resident of South Boston who started every day by enjoying his cup of coffee and reading the newspaper at Carson Beach. He was an avid Boston Bruins and New England Patriots fan who watched all the games from the comfort of his own self-proclaimed man cave. John looked forward to his yearly trip to the Saratoga Racetrack, family vacations including the Cape, New Hampshire, Disney, and Bermuda as well as visiting his cousins and consuming his occasional margarita on the rocks, NO salt.
John retired from the Boston Globe after 30 years as a member of Teamsters Mailers Union Local #1. Current Board of Director and longstanding member of the South Boston Chippewa Athletic Club.
