He filmed, written and produced independent movies for over a decade
Owned a comic-book pet shop (yes, both) called “Comics & Critters.”
Being in multiple bands, including "BLACK VELVET"
He played in multiple bands for years. Especially with his childhood friend Phil, they still raise animals together on their farm. Their longest running band was a heavy metal band called BLACK VELVET.

His love for collecting all kinds of things
His hobbies spanned everything from tabletop games (Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer 40K, Call of Cthulhu, Starfinder, and his favorite, Hollow Earth) to collecting statues, toys, plushies, and miniatures from Marvel, DC, Godzilla ("BIG G"), Pokémon, Lord of the Rings, dinosaurs, and more. And then there were the comics. John had been collecting comic books for over sixty years. First editions, classics, rare issues he had a treasure vault anyone would envy.
