Born July 20, 1941 in Santa Fe, NM. He served in the Air Force. After his service he moved to Springfield Massachusetts. There he began his career as a certified orthopedic technologist.

John was a man who would go above and beyond. Always caring for others and putting their needs first. He loved his family, especially his grandkids who he always talked to everyone about. He had the greatest smile that was contagious and a goofy sense of humor. He always had a story to tell for every situation. He loved to bowl and play tennis. He also loved his snacks!
John will be lovingly remembered by his son, Brian, daughter in law, Katie and 3 wonderful grandchildren, Abigail, Mishael and Hannah, whom he loved very much. His sister, Esther Pearce, brother, Lou Sanchez and his sister in law, Judy Brown. He was preceded in death by his wife Cynthia (Cindy)
