He directed several church camps within the California-Nevada Conference. John loved to teach classes in Christian theology. He put his thoughts into his book, “The Now of Our Human Destiny.”
The McMath clan of seven camped and made many cross-country auto trips. A highlight in John’s life was traveling with fellow ministers throughout Europe and the Holy Land in 1954.
In 1980, John and Mary retired to their property in the foothills of El Dorado County.
The McMaths spent the summers of their retirement years on their farm in Walton, Ind. Each grandchild enjoyed a personal visit with their grandparents in Indiana.
