Until he retired in 2015, he devoted his professional life to education, serving as principal in Hartford and Bethel, VT, then superintendent of the Danville and Barre, VT, school systems. He took tremendous pride negotiating teacher contracts, which tested his ability to listen and to find the middle way.

In addition to being a good, fair, and gentle listener, Mr. Bacon was a ski instructor, an accomplished equestrian, an avid fly fisherman, a windsurfer, a hiker/camper/whitewater canoeist, a Boston Whaler afficionado, a sailor, a Serengeti Safari photographer, and a grown man who could launch a potato 50 yards with nothing more than a PVC pipe, hairspray, and a match. There was a lot of little boy left in John Bacon. His heart was always close to a summer home of his youth on Vermont’s Lake Willoughby. It was more a camp, its wealth found in the wildlife, extraordinary beauty, and a lake that reveled in silence. John listened – with exception. For example, the neighbors who did not know him, heard him – actually his signal cannon – which would fire off at each sunset. Cut too short, his life was well lived.
