He enjoyed fishing for sturgeon and catfish, hunting, flying his Cessna 182, snowmobiling, and shooting his cannon. JJ loved his family and friends. He enjoyed spending time with his grandkids and great grandkids. JJ loved watching them play baseball and softball and taking them fishing. One of his favorite past times was listening to his daughter Becky play the piano. He was a family man and one of the greatest persons to have known. JJ bought a 1932 and 1934 Ford and gave them to his grandkids. He enjoyed family reunions and telling stories of the past. He was a 32nd Degree Mason.
