Resident Spotlight “John T.”

We would like to take a moment to acknowledge John T. as a part of our Aravilla family. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1947, John attended Orange High School before pursuing higher education at Kent State University in Ohio. He successfully obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. Additionally, John served in the Vietnam War as a member of the Marines, where he displayed bravery and commitment. Despite sustaining a gunshot wound to his lung, he was honorably discharged. Following his military service, John dedicated his professional career to working at a chemical company called “Zep Chemicals”. For an impressive span of 40 years, he excelled as one of their top salesmen, contributing significantly to the company’s success. John takes immense pride in being a father to his son, who in turn has blessed him with the joy of being a loving grandfather.

John’s favorite hobby is golfing as it holds a special place in his heart. He has achieved remarkable accomplishments in the sport. Notably, he has scored three holes in one throughout his life, including an outstanding 210-yard hole-in one using a one iron club. His golfing adventures often took him to Canada for enjoyable golf vacations, and he also cherished traveling to Costa Rica. Moreover, John has an interesting claim to fame, having been featured in Life Magazine during his time in Vietnam. If you happen to cross paths with John, whether it be during our golfing activities or at the bar with the men enjoying a glass of wine, please take a moment to greet him warmly. His remarkable journey and vibrant personality make him a cherished member of our community.
