John and Sally moved their family from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Winter Springs in 1983 so that John could take a sales position with a new company called Taylor Made Golf Company. John was one of the original sales representatives for Taylor Made and helped pioneer the sale of metal woods in the golf industry. John and Sally later worked together as sales representatives for other golf-related products in the golf industry before retiring.
John was known for his love for his family and his immense Irish pride.
