He was a military surgeon specializing in ear, nose and throat. In 2012, both John and his wife Betty were all over the tabloids because Betty refused to let her husband go. They were still married to each other but have been living separately since 1996. John had also been facing some personal challenges with alcohol, hoarding and overspending.

On January 14, 2012, John got married to a then 60-year old lady named Tricanne Taylor. When Betty heard this, she filed a law suit stating that she loves her husband of over 4 decades at the time and was yet to be legally separated from him. She even added that she believes her husband is suffering from early-onset dementia which Taylor might just be taking advantage of.

What’s more is that when John was asked about this second marriage of his, he claimed that he does not know any woman by that name and doesn’t remember getting married too anyone. The annulment petition was granted and restraining order was filed against Tricanne.
