John also enjoyed playing cards, especially euchre and poker with his family, and he enjoyed his sons taking him to the casino to play his slots. John was an avid Detroit Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, and Piston’s fan, but there was no doubt that he was one of the biggest University of Michigan football fans ever, he thoroughly enjoyed Michigan’s 2023 Championship year.
