He went on to college at Worcester Academy and Arizona State where he also played Football. John was the son of the former Mayor of Revere, Peter J. Jordan. He was fortunate to share many special years with his partner, Lillian McGuirk-Graf, who survives him, as well as his extended family Kristine McCarthy and husband Gerry of Chester, NH, Paul D.

He served as Ward 4 councilor and councilor at large and was elected two times by his colleagues to serve as president, a testament to his dedication and commitment to public service.

In his leisure time, John was an avid golfer and enjoyed socializing with his many friends, especially during his annual trip to Fort Lauderdale, FL.
