John R. Kostick, age 58 of Wayne died suddenly on Sunday, October 3, 2010 at St. Claire’s Hospital in Dover.
John had lived in Clifton before moving to Wayne when he was eight years old in 1960. He lived there most of his life before moving to Mine Hill recently. After high school, he served in the U.S. Army.
John had been a welder during his career, working at several different fabricators including Falls Metal in Little Falls, Passaic County Welders in Wayne, and Tornquist in Clifton. He also worked for a short period with the Pompton Lakes DPW.
John was a rolling stone and loved to get together with friends, family, or anyone who looked like they were having a good time. If John was at the party, you were sure to go home with a story that would make you say “you can’t make this stuff up” – and there are plenty of “John Kostick” stories for his friends and family to remember. Whether it was stitching up his own wounds, how he quickly recovered from breaking his own neck, or how he would eat at China Buffet and then leave with extra food in his coat, the stories just got better and better. It’s even rumored that there’s a time limit at the China Buffet now because John would go in and pay for lunch, then spend the day there right through dinner.
Besides providing great entertainment for everyone, John also liked collecting reptiles, fishing whenever he could, and his dog Diamond.
John is survived by his two sons; David Kostick of Mine Hill, and Brian Kostick and his fiancé Tiffany of Riverdale, his brother George Kostick of Wayne and sister Debra DeAngelo of Wayne, and five grandchildren: Amber Kostick of Easton, Pennsylvania, Joseph Kostick of Florida, and Dylan, Taylor, Danielle, and Justin of Riverdale, NJ as well as his niece Gina DeAngelo and nephew Nicholas DeAngelo of Wayne.
