~Family Tribute~
John was an extraordinary, loving human being with the best infectious laugh. He loved his family dearly and completely, particularly doting on the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. John had an enormous heart that also impacted many lives around the world with his passion and teaching of Polarity, that he practiced right up until his final month with us, at 94 years of age!
John excelled in many careers including teacher, coach, therapist, and Polarity practitioner. He is referred to as the “Father of Polarity” in Michigan and has a world-wide network of friends and followers. His religious beliefs and practices run deep and we are joyous to know he is now in the hands of God. John will be greatly missed by the numerous lives he has touched.
