John and his wife Kathleen have had the opportunity to live in several areas of the country over nearly 50 years of happy marriage. As a result, he has been able to serve a variety of churches in several capacities. He’s found the Spirit of God alive and involved whether he’s in an inner-city food pantry, a small country church or a Bible- belt megachurch. A veteran, a Kodak retiree and recently a great grandfather, he believes the ability to serve is in direct proportion to one’s willingness to practice the Presence of God every single day.
