John Robert Rhoton

Hello, my name is John Robert Rhoton. I was born on February 18, 1956 in Waukegan, Il. My life consisted of being the biggest cheese head fan. During a game, I yelled and cheered the Packer’s on to show what a proud “Packer Backer” fan I was. Every year on the Fourth of July, I thrived on being a proud American. Also, I enjoyed working in the food service industry, for 25 years serving as a Sous Chef for Aramark and Compass Group.To my immediate family; just remember, I will be watching over you!
