John met and married his wife Frances in New York and together they eventually moved to Anaheim, California where they raised their six children - Donald, Robert, John, Gary, Laurie and Arlene. John and Frances were blessed with nine grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Nothing delighted John more than quizzing his grandchildren about American history and state capitals.
