John Padore

John Patrick Padore, 72, a longtime resident of Crestline/Lake Arrowhead passed away peacefully on May 18th at his new home in North Carolina. John leaves behind his ever-loving wife of 43 years, Lorie (Brumm) Padore.

John was preceded in death by his father Joseph Padore; his mother Nila Tabert; and three siblings Mike Padore, Jim Padore and Cecelia Hill.

John was born December 1st, 1950 in Long Beach, CA. His family then moved to Crestline. John graduated from Rim of the World High School in 1969 and briefly attended Valley College before being drafted into the United States Army to serve his Country in Vietnam. John was a true patriot and always flew the American flag at his home, boat and motorhome. As a tribute to John, please continue to fly the American flag proudly.

John will be forever remembered for his construction craftsmanship throughout the mountain communities. John was always willing to share his knowledge of his construction skills. John was also a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Sky Ridge Realty in Lake Arrowhead, CA. John's real passion was boating on lakes and the ocean. From building a sailboat with his brother & father, crewing a boat to Hawaii, racing boats to Mexico, to boating on Lake Arrowhead, John’s life revolved around being on the water. It's now time for him to navigate the heavenly seas. John also loved traveling in their motorhome across America and experiencing new adventures along the way.

Cheers to you John! Forever in our Hearts.
