John Harowicz age 89 of Wayne died Sunday, November 2, 2008 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains. His passing was quiet and peaceful while receiving the loving care of his family.
He was born in Zanesville, Ohio and when he was young his family moved to Garfield where he spent his formative years.
John received his formal education at Garfield grammar schools and Garfield High School.
He was employed twenty-nine years at Hoffman LaRoche Pharmaceuticals in Nutley as a Pharmaceutical Distribution Specialist. He retired in 1983.
He proudly served in the United State Air Force during World War II in the 1984th Truck Company 13th Air Force Battalion. He was stationed at the Air Force base in Tucson, Arizona and served in the Philippines.
After the war he stayed in contact with the men from his group and attended yearly reunions of his air group. He looked forward each year to Christmas greeting from members of his squadron.
His hobby was gardening and in the Easter season and at Christmas he would team up with his brother Leonard and brother in law Joe to make homemade kielbasa.
John was gifted with a quiet nature and was a wonderful family man. His daughter Mary Jo recalls how he loved to introduce her to sports and was lovingly attentive and caring as a father.
Josephine “Jo” and John met at Hoffman LaRoche where they were both employed. Not long afterwards they bumped into each other at Saint Joseph Church on Parker Avenue in Passaic and soon became a couple together. They married on October 25, 1958 and last month they celebrated fifty years of loving marriage together.
Surviving are his loving wife Josephine “Jo” (nee Balut) Harowicz; one daughter Mary Jo Harowicz of Wayne; one sister Bernice Miko of Clifton.
He was predeceased by his brothers Edward and Leonard Harowicz.
