He married Erma Dire in 1950 and the couple went on to have five children together. He became a gold miner late in life, entering the trade to keep active after undergoing triple bypass surgery in 1986.

Awwwww
He got to see his grandson become a millionaire by mining gold! He was so happy to see this.
RIP, John, you primed a great pump!
Although I didn't watch the show much I did see John and his grandson. I could feel the love. I liked the grandson because he was young and learned a lot. He had a lot of leadership potential.
he was the best man on the show!!!
You could tell that John was a great man and he did live to see his son's success. With that being said his son did not turn out to be a good leader.
I know its a reality show and many times people are portrayed a certain way by the editors but he seemed to be an ass to his workers so much that he has a ridiculous turn over rate.
For someone to be as successful as his grandson and yet keep having people quit or decide to not return shows a lot about his leadership style.
Over all though his grandson Parker did get results and that is something that John could take to his grave and leave behind as a legacy to be proud of.
When his brother River fatally overdosed at the Viper Room, Joaquin was the an individual
who called 911. But his life off-screen has been more interesting than any character he has
played on-screen.
