John Geger

John Geger, age 61, of Wayne passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 as a result of complications from COVID 19.

John was born in Passaic, and grew up in Bloomfield before moving to Wayne more than ten years ago.  He attended Essex Catholic High School in Newark.  During his years in high school, tragedy struck John’s life when his father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.  Following his graduation from high school, John found work quickly with a company named SEBCO Laundry Systems in Raritan, NJ.  John’s career with SEBCO spanned more than thirty-five years.  He started out at an entry level position and over the years climbed the company ladder to the position of Operations Manager.  John held the position of Operations Manager for several years until his passing.

In 1994, John married the love of his life, Grace Van Der Veen.  The couple moved to Wayne and called it their home for the rest of their lives together.  John and Grace cherished twenty six years of loving and loyal marriage.  Apart from all of John’s talents, hobbies and interests, his greatest passion was for his family.  He will always be remembered as a kind, loving, and caring man.  John was a truly special person who touched the lives of many people and will be missed by his family and friends alike.

John is survived by his wife Grace Geger (nee Van Der Veen), one son Jeffrey Sisco, his mother Jean Geger, one sister Jean Loesch and her husband Gerard, two nieces; Brianna Van Der Veen, and Clare Loesch, one nephew Brandon Van Der Veen, his brother-in-law Donald Van Der Veen and his wife Dianne, and his Goddaughter Kaitlyn Cropanese.  He was predeceased by his father John Geger and by his brother James Geger.
