JOHN EDWARD WAITT

Physical Therapist, Advantx Home Care, Sherman, Texas

John Waitt was a Massachusetts native who moved to Denison, Texas in 1983 as a Physical Therapy graduate. His love for all things New England never faded, but he embraced his life in Texas, serving his community as a P.T. in the local hospital for 15 years followed by over two decades in home health. He deeply loved his wife, Krista, his four sons, and two daughters-in-law, and he would have adored his grandson who was born seven months after his death. John's family was his greatest joy, and he was theirs. He often said, “People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Anyone who met John knew he cared.
