  • I worked with John for several years at Dupont locations in Gloucester City and New Castle. I remember John as someone you could count on in an emergency. I was new to trucking operations and I leaned on him for his expertise many times. I felt close to John because of his Ukranian heritage. I was born and raised in South Wilmington the location of the Ukranian Church. Most of my friends were Ukranian. In fact I learned to speak a little of the language. When he learned I was being transferred to Wilkes Barre he gave me a few pointers on getting along with the people up there. His advice came in handy. May God bless all and may John find rest it the arms of the Lord.

  • I was sad to hear the news of his passing but oh soo GLAD for the Victory in JESUS
    Another soul HOME safe and sound

    He was a great friend of my dad ( Tony Iwanowski who passed away last July)
    Our whole family was honored that he came to the service
    I had not seen him in years but remembered his kind face and wonderful smile

    Shine on John

    May you and my dad watch over all of us until we meet again
    and if you know JESUS you will
