My dad John's personality was one of a kind, very genuine and laid back. My dad was athletic in High School and joined the Army after graduation. He had a green thumb and loved adding his condiments to his meals. John was in the Crusade for Justice in his early 20's. The Crusade is a movement for Social Justice that is very important to our Chicano Culture. He enjoyed watching the "Price is Wrong" on television and old black and white shows that included the Andy Griffen show. Music was a big part of his life. Some artists he liked was the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Eagles etc... My dad John loved to have a good time and lived his life the way we chose to. He was dearly loved and will be missed.
