John J. Munsey, Jr., age 45 of West Milford, formerly of Totowa, passed Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at home after a 20 month courageous battle with Leukemia.
He was born in Paterson and raised at the family home at 238 Totowa Road, Totowa. John graduated from Passaic County Technical High School in Wayne with the Class of 1990.
John’s first job was at Child World in Totowa and after high school he secured a job as an electrician with the IBEW Local 102. He worked for Wayne Township as the Supervisor of Building Maintenance for fourteen years before leaving due to medical reasons. For several years at town hall he served as President of the AFSCME Local 2192 White Collar Union.
John will be remembered for his quiet, friendly, easy way. He had a knack for remembering names, made friends easily, and loved his coffee. He enjoyed electronics and had a passion for wiring since he was a child. Whether it was amplifiers, speakers, or sub-woofers in his music room or car, John enjoyed the challenge of wiring it all. He loved cars and always considered himself a Chevy man. His first car, which set him on his Chevrolet path, was a 1982 silver Chevrolet Monte Carlo that he loved.
He was an exempt member of the Lincoln Fire Company in Totowa and a member of the American Legion Post 227 - SAL on Union Boulevard in Totowa.
John was the loving husband of Janette Pardo; devoted father of Joseph Munsey; cherished son of John and Florence Munsey; much loved brother of David Munsey and his wife Linda of Ringwood, and Pamela Janek and her husband Adam of Warner Robbins, GA; adored uncle of Jordan and Peyton Janek, and Joshua and Rachel Crespo; dear brother-in-law of Lizette Pardo-Crespo of Clifton.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Memory of John to support Joey's future education fund. Please make donations to Janette Pardo, c/o Vander May Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ 07470.
