Over the years, John (known by many as Jack) had many interests, most of which involved the outdoors and being with family, friends, and especially his two grandsons. In the early days, he enjoyed downhill skiing and tennis. He loved to garden well into his 80s, and go for long walks and runs. He often could be found on a golf course for a leisurely round. Always on the lookout, he would find hardwood to split and then burn all winter long in the fireplace. His love for nature drove him to go on hikes where he could identify trees, plants and birds native to Wisconsin. Jack’s favorite place on earth was “the cabin” just east of Eagle River where he fished for trout in Brule Creek, hunted grouse and deer in fall, and spent quality time with loved ones.
