John was born to the late Herbert and Harriet Morrow on October 10, 1946. He was a 1966 graduate of South Central High School. John and Priscilla Fox were high school sweethearts and married on June 16, 1968 at the Ripley Church. After graduation, John served 4 years with the US Marine Reserve and 2 years with the Army Nat'l Guard. He met Gary Gott while serving in the guard who then met and married Priscilla's sister Linda.

John started working for the B&O Railroad in January of 1969 as a signal maintainer. He maintained crossing gates, flashers, signals and switches. He retired in October of 2006 after 38 years of service.

He enjoyed showing his display of railroad memorabilia at festivals and car shows. He loved showing how the old signal equipment worked. He also enjoyed his tractors, antiques, mowing his yard, dancing and music, most of all he loved his family.
