Willoughby Sr., in Louisville, Kentucky.  John never met a stranger, and even though he could be a bit of a troublemaker and loved to aggravate you, everyone knew and loved him. He was always the life of the party and would give you the shirt off his back. John was a strong, dedicated man, and never asked anyone for help. In his spare time, he enjoyed listening to rock ‘n roll, especially Kiss; watching his UK Wildcats, and New England Patriots; or creating some of his unique welding projects. John will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
