John enjoyed planting his garden and seeing how big he could grow his plants. He talked about growing pumpkins so big he needed help to pick them up. He loved raising animals and taking care of them. He liked picnics and loved spending time with friends and family when he was able.
Moo Moo and Max the pets he helped raise.
He never really talked of a favorite place but I am sure it would have included a place where he could raise animals and grow a garden.
