Born and raised in Chelsea, where he attended local schools and graduated from Chelsea High School.  John continued his education attending Wentworth Institute in Boston and received his master's degree in computer sciences.  A former resident of Chelsea, he was residing in Arlington the past 30 Years.  He worked as a computer software engineer in the computer support and sciences field and retired several years ago.

30 years ago, John met the love of his life, John Dumas, and they enjoyed many happy years together before marrying in 2018 in Provincetown, MA, one of their favorite vacation spots. So many good times were had doing the things they loved to do together dining out, going to concerts, traveling to the cape, as well as national parks in Arizona and California and Mediterranean cruises.

John played the guitar and was a self-taught pianist.  He enjoyed playing classic piano music and he also enjoyed 70's rock music favoring Led Zepplin, attending many of their concerts.

Sadly, the next phase wasn't meant to be, but John lived every day to the fullest and had so many incredible experiences. His life was too short, but so well lived and he was so well loved. The world is not as bright without him in it and he will be missed incredibly by his mother, his brother and his sister, his nieces, nephews and many friends. May he rest in sweet peace.
