John became a junior
member at 16 years old at The Enterprise Fire Company of Hatboro in 1985. He
rose up the ranks to Deputy Chief.
John was a member of Willow Grove and Warminster Fire Companies during his
early years as a volunteer. He started his full time firefighting career at the Johnsville Naval Air Warfare Center before they were closed, he then
transferred to Willow Grove Naval Air Station until he was hired at Whitpain
Township Fire Department. He also worked part time at Horsham Fire
Company. John loved the job, and considered the firehouse his second home.
He was a mentor to many and left a lasting impression on all who met him.
We will all miss Johnny's smile and the great times which will be forever
in our hearts.
John was not just a consummate
professional, but an exceptional human being. He could walk into any room
and it would immediately come alive. If you ever had the chance to meet him,
within 10 minutes he would have left a lasting impression on you.
