Following the infamous Roe v/s Wade decision which legalized abortion, John managed the election campaign of a New York pro-life attorney who was seeking to unseat a town judge on Long Island. Back then most Americans were inherently pro-life, but in a foreshadowing of things to come, too few came out to vote. The challenger lost the race and the culture of death was born in that part of the world. 

In 1974 John sold his dry cleaning business and with his wife Joan and three children moved to Florida . The plan was to reenter the broadcasting business in which he had served for several years as a television weather man and radio news broadcaster. Unfortunately most "on air talent" employed in Florida rarely sought positions elsewhere preferring to "stay put" and live the "good life." Consequently John purchased a large dry cleaning business and made Florida his permanent home. 

A few years later, after answering an ad in his church’s bulletin, he found himself working as a volunteer in prison ministry. Along with a dedicated group of co-workers, he frequently visited inmates in the county jail and regional prison. A few months passed and he was elected president. Three years later the Catholic Diocese Of Palm Beach was born and John along with his fellow volunteers disbanded their group and offered their services as volunteers with the Office of Prison Ministry. Ultimately he was asked by the Diocese to form a permanent program for inmates at the County Jail. During this time he continued to distribute pro-life literature in public places and occasionally prayed out side abortion clinics with other pro-lifers. Eventually he joined Palm Beach County Right To Life League Inc and a year later was elected president. Now, with most of his time spent writing, he continues to serve in the office of vice president. 

Since 1990 John has been writing religious books and two years ago perceived the need to address the most infrequently mentioned aspect of abortion; forgiveness. Forgiveness for the poor souls involved. 

Return of the Children is a message to all souls that have been involved in abortion, and all those who are considering it. The message is clear;

"God loves you. If you have been involved in abortion He forgives you. If you are considering abortion, He is here to help you choose life for your child. All that is necessary is repentance and acceptance of His mercy. His healing awaits you."
