John L. Filasky, Sr.
August 17, 1951 - January 11, 2021
John L. Filasky, Sr., age 69, of Middletown, DE, passed away on Monday, January 11, 2021.
Born in Long Island, NY on August 17, 1951, he was a son of the late Raymond J. and Elizabeth Ann (Healy) Filasky.
John was raised on a cabbage and potato farm in Middletown where he learned the value of living and growing in a small farm community. He enjoyed playing football and wrestling while attending Middletown High School. John had an appreciation for sports cars and music. Most days in a Filasky home began with a few verses of “It’s A Beautiful Morning.”
He attended the University of Delaware for 2 years before returning to Middletown to own and operate Filasky’s Ag Services with his father and brother. During this time, John met and later married the love of his life, Cindi, and started their family. In 1981, he had achieved his dream of owning his own farm and began what is now Filasky’s Produce. Many students from the M.O.T area had their first job at Filasky’s and continued to return through their college years. John was not only an employer, but a mentor for most, and expected everyone’s best while helping them grow into a good person. He would often do this by telling a story or quoting an ageless phrase. John took pride in growing his famous “John’s Corn”, and enjoyed greeting customers, friends and neighbors from his familiar chair under the pavilion. He loved working with his family in their little corner of the woods. John’s career in agriculture extended beyond the farm in service to the agricultural community. He was involved in both the county and state boards of the Delaware Farm Bureau as well as the Delaware Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association. John also served on the state board of the USDA Farm Service Agency. The Filasky Family have been named farm family of the year and earned various other recognitions for their good and sustainable farming practices. John’s love of agriculture lives on in his family and is ever present in the ideas he brought to the farm and the organizations he served. His forward thinking, attention to detail and willingness to try new things brought many improvements to the farm. John took great care in instilling the same values he learned from his parents into his children.
He was a delightful combination of his father and mother. John was a faithful friend to many. He was always ready to lend a helping hand for family, friends, church or community. Very few people can say that they knew what they wanted to do with their life in the first grade; John knew. He always wanted to farm and had the proverbial green thumb. The focus and drive John had that enabled him to be a successful farmer, in spite of having to start from scratch, were the same things that made him a success at life. He was committed to his wife and family in ways that helped them all achieve individual successful. Regardless of how demanding John may have seemed, one could readily see in his family how much love he bestowed upon them.
John is survived by his wife of 47 years, Cynthia (Thomas) Filasky; children, Julia Winkler (Vince) and John Jr. (Nicole), both of Middletown and Tim (Danielle) of Newark; siblings, Ray (Eileen) of Mechanicsville, VA, Roseanne LeRoy of Wilmington and Peggy Filasky of Redding, CA; and grandchildren, Frank Winkler and Juno Filasky.
All services will be held privately.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in John’s memory to The Old Bohemia Historical Society, Inc., P.O. Box 61, 1690 Bohemia Church Road, Warwick, MD 21912.

Roseanne LeRoy
Dear Cindi, Julie, Johnny & Timmy:
As a family, we have all shared in our love for John. His values of protecting Family, Friends and Farm were always his top priority!! Growing up together from the 1950’s-1970’s, John always made sure all things were completed on our farm before
“Having fun”… however we were able to do both!! On date night, John would say.. “Roseanne I would appreciate it if you would pick Cindi up at Glen Farms and bring her down to the farm.. by that time I will be finished planting and I will have more time to spend with her”. Of course I would because I always knew Cindi was the BEST for John!! When we returned John was not finished and Cindi would jump out of the car to see him and would help him complete his day…as she has done for 47 plus years! John, I am so thankful for You,Cindi and your entire family!
I will forever miss the “twinkle in your eyes”, your fun spirit and the memories we have shared!
Love you forever!!
Roseanne
Cindy Janucik Grabowski
My heart goes out to you Cindi, and the entire Filasky family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Our families (who my mom called the Middletown gang) have been more than friends (for at least 60 years) – I have come across many pictures where our families celebrated milestones, events or just to visit – wonderful memories of fun, laughter and smiles. John, may God bless you and your family, may the eternal light shine upon you, rest in peace.
(Hey, would you give my love to your parents and mine, my brother, too!)

Matt
John was a best friend to everyone he knew. I always enjoyed his stories and when things didn’t go right, we always got a good chuckle when he got into a bind. But he always managed to fix things. And I’ve never met a family with such a tight bond with not just themselves, but his community family. God bless and may he bring his personality to heaven. They will definitely enjoy him.❤️

Angie and Brandon Ried
I am so sad to hear this. I had only met him a handful of times but he was always friendly and loved his corn. My son Brandon loved sitting on his tractor when we would come visit. The last time we visited he was still in the hospital getting around. I spoke with Cindy on my last visit and called my parents so that they could talk to you because they weren’t able to make the drive. My parents always spoke highly of John, Cindy, Julia and John Jr. I will say a prayer for him and wish nothing but the best for his family during this difficult time. Hugs to you Cindy. I hope to come back during the summer. Love you all.
Ellen Bockman
Cindi and Family,
Our heartfelt condolences on John’s passing. How fortunate are we to be just a corn field away from such a Middletown institution as that built by him. Rarely a week goes by in the summer that we aren’t there buying corn and more. Wishing you some level of peace during this very difficult time.

Cyndi and family,
Growing up on “Star Route”, riding the bus, going to school, and “hanging out” with the Filasky clan during Middletown’s best years truly hold fond memories for the Perry family. The “twinkle in John’s eyes” (as Roseanne mentioned) was always there when I saw him at his farm in recent years. John provided our children with an abundance of great stories from working at Filaskys! A great guy to count as a friend. Prayers to all.
