John was born December 14, 1958 in Whitinsville, MA, son of Aline (Bousquet) and the late Edward Mahoney. John had a love for the outdoors and a passion for agriculture. He enjoyed spending time in the hay field with his father, sons, brothers, and most of all his tractors. John was a man of many talents, from home renovation to restoring tractors, his beloved 1972 Corvette, and many other interests. He possessed an extreme work ethic. As a young man he owned an excavation and welding company while also working for Wyman Gordan. He had a vast amount of roles within W-G during his career. From being a first class welder, research and development technician, moving on to supervising the titanium plant and the forge shop before moving on to American Superconductor, as the supervisor of facilities and maintenance. Away from work John had a thirst for the open road, traveling across America in his RV whenever he could with his family. He spent many years going tractor pulling with his family and friends. He took great pride in his Class A CDL drivers license and often said “I can drive anything but a school bus.” John endured great strength and courage. He was a man afraid of nothing, he took on many challenges but always had a plan. Above all else he treasured time with his family.
