Resident of the Month

Congratulations to John Stitt, Raised in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during the war and the fifties. I met my beautiful wife at the University of Maryland, and we married in the Spring of 1960. We returned to Pittsburgh and worked in the family business, solid waste (garbage) until 1963. We had four children while living in Pittsburgh, 3 daughters and a son all educated, married, and out of the nest. In addition, I have 9 grandchildren.

Joined National Solid Waste Company, Waste Management Inc. in 1973. Relocated to Dayton, Ohio, and then to Kansas City in 1976. Moved to Greenville/Spartanburg in 1978, and what was to be a 3 years contract turned into our new home. My wife passed away after 59 wonderful years of marriage and had established a very successful artist career locally. I retired in 2003, golf was my passion.

Played since I was 11 years old but due to a hip replacement, I had to stop playing. I continue to be a sports buff and follow football, golf, college basketball, and I LOVE March Madness. I also enjoy reading, especially biographs, history from 1940 to present and do newspaper crosswords daily.

My life situation couldn’t be better family and friends close by, I am grateful to have moved to Legacy Reserve. Wonderful staff, excellent services, outstanding facility with new friends and neighbors. How lucky can you be!
