John “Jan” Straub age 74 of Wayne passed away on Monday February 25, 2013 at Chilton Memorial Hospital peacefully with his family by his side.  

John was born and raised in Poland, upon his graduation from High School he enlisted in the Polish Army.  During his service with the Polish Army he learned and practiced as a machinist. He carried through with this skill after his discharge from the Polish Military. He then furthered his career as a machinist when he and his wife Maria immigrated to the United States in 1972. John worked for Thomas Electronics in Wayne for 15 years before his retirement 5 years ago.

John’s family remembers him as being a “simple Man”, he was honest, easy going, and laid back. He loved nature and sports especially soccer, hockey, and gymnastics. John was also very handy and could fix just about anything.  John cherished 48½ years of marriage to his wife Maria (nee Galka) whom he met in Poland before he moved to the US.

John is survived by his wife, one daughter, one son-in-law, and 3 grandchildren.
