John’s pride and joy was his three RED Pontiac Trans Am cars and his one RED Chevy Camaro LT1. John was predeceased by a sister (1958), his mother, Patricia (1980) and his brother, Joseph (2017). John is survived by his father, John Sr.; his sister, Jill Hinchman and her husband Sam, his step-siblings and their families, Daniel, Sarah, Garry, Harvey, Jackie, and Jameison.
