JINDRICH The Baker: My Grandfather's Life, 1891-1948, Based on True Events (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662823855)

After years of hearing stories about my grandfather's disappearance, I began doing research into his life. Recently retired, I had the time, and there was nothing more important than possibly finding out what remained a mystery for over eight decades. It ended up being a very fascinating adventure, uncovering facts and tying together all the loose ends that unfolded before my eyes. I talked to folks in distant places, wrote to absolute strangers about my quest, and was amazed at the responses I received. Thrust into the lives of those who lived before my time, I developed visions of how it must have been to survive in what most people now refer to as "the past" or "back in the day." My findings became too precious to just file away somewhere without sharing them with my siblings, so I began to develop a story based on factual data. Then, one day it became even more intriguing when a young boy entered my life spiritually and inspired me to put forth more than the novel about my grandfather. It's all contained in this book that I'm happy to call "JINDRICH, The Baker." Growing up in a large family in Independence, Ohio, the author had a strong Catholic upbringing with values that still remain deep-seated. His graphic arts background spurred his creativity, and many years in sales gave him treasured knowledge of working with people. He and his wife of 54 years raised three sons in Southwest Florida, and they now reside in Northern Georgia. John attends St. Brendan Catholic Church and is his wife's right hand in leading the Garden Ministry there. He enjoys home improvement projects, playing tennis with his special needs son, Jimmy, and walking with his wife along the greenway close to their home.
