They raised their three children - Jodi, John III, and Jay - while nurturing their burgeoning business, laying the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive today.

Under his leadership, Kwik Print has expanded its capabilities, adding a range of sophisticated printing solutions to its arsenal. High-speed, high-quality black and white printers stand ready to handle the demanding needs of monthly newsletters, while a cutting-edge digital offset press enables the production of large volume, traditional ink printing projects with exceptional speed and color accuracy.
