Even at the height of his career he defined himself as a “Humble Bookkeeper”.
John’s children remember him most for his devotion and sheer love and appreciation for his wife Erica. It was a joy to observe them together as they shared experiences, stories and their sense of humor. When Mom and Dad laughed it was hard not to join in. He spent a good part of his retirement touring the world with Erica never taking anything for granted and was always grateful for those times of joy with his wife.
John is survived by his four children Laurie and Bill Halloran of Toms River, NJ; John and Felicia Ormsby of Lake Como, NJ; Kathleen and Frank Langr of Champlain, NY; and Susan and Jim Svarczkopf of Essex Junction, VT. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his 13 grandchildren and recent great granddaughter. He also leaves behind many cherished memories of 54 years worth of family vacations to Long Beach Island, holidays, times around the table, sharing stories and family events of times gone by.
