Janos “John Szabados,
Resident of the Month
John was born Dec. 29, 1934, in Budapest, Hun-
gary. John had a loving mother and father, and two
sisters. He was the middle child between his sisters.
As a child growing up, he was an avid soccer
player and won many games against his opponents
as the “goalie.” John then went on to become an
accomplished boxer, winning the Golden Gloves in
boxing.
Life was not good in Hungary. At the time, Adolf
Hitler was invading and moving through Poland
and Czechoslovakia. As a teenager, John witnessed
the bombings, explosions, and the soldiers being
killed in the streets as the Germans marched
through. He witnessed the horrors of the war. His grandfather owned a win-
ery and John would help him in the summer months. He has very fond mem-
ories of helping to pick the grapes and turn them into wine.
John came to the United States in 1952, at Ellis Island, N.Y. He then
moved to California to work at the General Motors car assembly plant,
where he worked for 33 years. Upon retiring, he was honored for never hav-
ing an un-excused absence.
John met and married a Hungarian lady named Anna, at a dance. Together
the couple raised five children: Joe, Steve, John, Margaret, and Caroline, and
one step-son Frank. After retirement, John moved to Las Vegas, Nev. He
always prides himself for his handsome looks and was one of the best
dressers around. After all, he said, “All the girls are crazy about a sharp
dressed man.”
John has been a resident here at CMHCF since May 2014. He enjoys at-
tending the men’s lunch, van rides, and, at times, he enjoys coming to
exercise. Congratulations John, on being our resident of the month for
March!
