John A. Vuz

In the early morning hours of June 6th, 2023, John A. Vuz, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle passed away at the age of 80 after a long, courageous battle with cancer. He was born on a warm summer day on August 13th, 1943 to his parents, the late Stanley and Mary Vuz and grew up in Wallington, NJ. 

John's career in sales was long and successful, a testament to his unwavering work ethic and his innate ability to connect with others. He held a B.A. in Chemistry and a Master's degree in Marketing from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and his reputation in his field was second to none. 

But it was in his personal life where John truly shone. A dedicated baseball coach, he spent countless hours on the field, instilling a love of the game in his sons and generations of young players. He was also an avid Mets fan and played softball with the Purple Gang in Packanack Lake. In his free time, John enjoyed trout fishing, coin collecting, bird watching, bowling, making his famous white wine mushroom sauce, gardening, and playing Rummy 500 and Poker with his beloved grandchildren. He also loved working with his hands and was always ready with his toolbox at a moment's notice to help with any home improvement project.

John's personality was as bright as the sun, and he possessed a wonderful sense of humor. He had a determination that was unmatched and a spirit that could not be broken. 

John's family was the center of his world, and his devotion to them was unwavering. He leaves behind his grammar school sweetheart and beloved wife of fifty-nine years, Barbara Vuz, and their three sons, John, Scott, and Shawn. He is also survived by his grandchildren, John, Jared, Kelly, William, Victoria, Quinn, and Veronica, as well as his daughters-in-law, Barbara, Kimberly, and Jacqueline. John is also survived by his sister, Arlene Kaiser, brother-in-law, Frank Kaiser, and his nephews, Todd and Erik Kaiser. 

John's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him, but his memory will live on in the countless lives he touched during his time on this earth. His was a life of purpose, of passion, and of love, and his legacy will continue to inspire and uplift those who were fortunate enough to know him.
