John then enjoyed his hard-earned retirement settling in Lexington. John loved life on the farm, he kept chickens, rabbits, and even had horses for a time. He had a gentle and loving spirit, and never met a stranger. He would offer help to anyone in need. John loved to tinker with woodworking in his shop.
