We celebrate a simple man, John had a quiet presence that his family and friends so appreciated.  He was an avid vegetable gardener, his garden was his pride and joy.  John was a well known mechanic and he was always sharing his knowledge and skills to fix just about anything, this was how he showed his love by working with his hands and helping family and friends.  John was a member of the Indiana Outboard Association and raced hydroplane boats for many years, his nickname was "Mr. Fast" back in the day.   He never met a stranger at the races,  great friends and memories brought him tremendous joy.  He also loved being a grandpa, spending time with his childhood friend Joe and his coffee buddies, fishing at Topsail Beach, riding bikes with his friend Marvin and riding around the farm on his John Deere Gator.

John is also survived by his daughter Mindy McKee (Tom) and children Sean, Michael and Erin.
