John W. Thome… was a barber and ran his own shop for 35 years. He was a hunter and fisherman and a football and baseball fan.
He was the choir director of his church, and a devout Christian man who always saw the good in everyone.
He had a good singing voice and played the trumpet. He also was a beekeeper and a gardener.
He had more common sense in his little finger than most people have in their whole bodies. He could have given lessons on how to be the near perfect husband.
