John Kuntzevich age 89, of Howard Beach, NY, died on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pequannock with the comfort of family by his side.
He was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY having attended Thomas Jefferson High School, Brooklyn with the class of 1936. Just out of high school he enlisted in the National Guard and entered the United States Navy in 1942 and served as a Sea-Bee, mostly in the Pacific Theatre of WWII, until he was honorably discharged in 1945.
After serving in the National Guard and before entering the Navy he was socializing with friends and bummed a cigarette from a pretty girl named Anna Kulak. They married at the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection, on the lower East side of New York City, on May 31, 1942. They honeymooned at Rova Farms in Jackson, NJ.
John served as a New York City policeman for twenty years having spent his entire career with the 77th Precinct in Bedford Stuyvesant, New York before retiring in 1964.
He was a member of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Brooklyn, NY and more recently Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church, Wayne.
He was the beloved husband of sixty-six years to Anna (Kulak) Kuntzevich; devoted father of Barbara Kucynda and her husband Fr. Paul of Wayne and Diana Kuntzevich of Bloomingdale; cherished grandfather of Timothy Kucynda, Christin Messina and her husband Michael, Kelly Chabebe and her husband Nejib and Erin Schissel and her husband Matthew; devoted great-grandfather of Katelynn Messina and was expecting another great-grandchild that is due in January; loved brother of the late Konstantine and Walter Kuntzevich and Anne Hanson.
