Obituary:

John graduated from Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA. He attended Brown University, Providence, RI and graduated with a degree in English. After teaching at Northeastern University in Boston, and a private school in Great Barrington, MA he moved to Goshen in 1964 and taught English at Stevens High School in Claremont, NH.

He was a volunteer firefighter for over 50 years, selectman, school board member, budget committee member, health officer and welfare officer.
