But for all his toughness and the 35 year battle he fought against Parkinson's, he had a soft side, too,.

John was his family's hero and will be dearly missed every day , but he is finally at peace.

He's back in the driver's seat now.

(Heather) Carraher III, daughter, Jodi (Matthew) Gallogly, four grandchildren, Adilynn, Connor, Allyson and Cara; 5 siblings, Nancy (John) Clements, Robert (Joanna) Carraher, Charles Bradley (Carol) Carraher, Mary Catherine (John) Stricker and James Douglas (Kristy) Carraher and many nieces and nephews.
