By Canton CitizenDid you know …
On April 23, John Dineen retired after being in the auto repair business for over 60 years. John started working at his father’s auto business when he was 12 years old. In 1987, he started his own business in Canton and recently moved it from Bailey Street to 391 Washington Street, in a building owned by the Wentworth family. John is a well-known Canton legionnaire and Vietnam veteran who has served as the Canton American Legion Post 24 commander.
Recently, the Wentworth family sold their property for $600,000 to the Vaness Limited Liability Company.
