Family was very important to John, as was evident in the time that he spent with his children and his grandchildren, whom he affectionately called "his cubs." John was referred to as "Pops" because of his nurturing nature, the wisdom he passed on and his ability to be a father-figure to all. He had a warm, friendly and loving manner. He liked to party, socialize, and have a good time with his family and friends. Jahfree, as he was also known, truly enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest.
