John R. Charczuk passed away on June 23, 2022 at Putnam Hospital. He was born on February 6, 1942 in New York City to parents John Charczuk and Marian Verona. On January 26, 1964 he married his love Josephine DeRose at St. Stanislaus in Queens. John and Josephine had known each other over 65 years and this upcoming January would have been their 60th wedding anniversary.
John was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. In his younger years, John loved to go fishing, and he has passed that love of fishing to his grandson Edward. He also loved to paint pictures and had a passion for playing checkers. His granddaughter Andrea got in a couple of good games with him during one of their last visits. Spending time with his grandkids was one of John’s favorite things to do and his family feels very blessed that they got to enjoy a wonderful Father’s Day with him just before he passed.
John is survived by his beloved wife Josephine; his son John Peter Charczuk; his daughter Josette Charczuk; and his grandchildren: John N. Charczuk, Andrea Charczuk and Edward Charczuk. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all that knew him.
A graveside service will be held Tuesday June 28. Please reach out to Josephine or Josette for details.
