- Pat Dugan to Barbara Whitmore

Biography
At some point, John married Gloria Pemberton, and they had two children, a son named Sylvester and a daughter named Meredith.

When Sylvester was fifteen years old, the family hired the twenty-year-old Pat Dugan as a driver and mechanic, who later helped Sylvester when he put on a mask to stop a group of criminals who were threatening his parents. John and Gloria eventually discovered their son's activities as a vigilante and were murdered as a result.
