John Zuk “chocolate lover extraordinaire” crossed over peacefully with his one true love by his side, November 9, 2021…sooner then expected or ever imagined.
His spirit continues to watch over the love of his life, soul mates forever…Rozie. John swept her off her feet 51 years ago at the infamous Donut Queen, with his charm, wit and sweet disposition. His “giggle” sealed the deal…his lime green Kawasaki didn’t hurt either!!
We miss you John…
Lovingly remembered by brother George (Brenda), sisters-in-law, Mary (Bob), Pat (Al), Shirley and Diane.
Uncle John was treasured by his many nieces and nephews. He took an intense interest in their lives and provided a quiet and loving guiding hand.
John will be sorely missed by many people who considered him a friend, mentor, and teacher of life. He had a varied and diverse career excelling at everything he chose to do. He was recognized in the auto trade industry as being an “Agent of Change” and “Quality Service” was what he delivered.
A GOLDEN HEART filled with LOVE and hardworking HANDS at rest.
God broke our HEARTS to prove to us “he only takes THE BEST”…
