Born in Hoboken, NJ and raised in Secaucus. John was the oldest of three children   He was a graduate of Wm. L. Dickinson High School Class of 1953.  John met Harriet Vaughn at a church event and were married on April 22, 1956 and settled in East Rutherford as John was starting his career as a machinist.  After a short time, they bought a house in Pompton Lakes to be closer to his job at Reaction Motors in Denville.  They stayed in Pompton Lakes for the next twenty-nine years and raised their two children.  During those years, John was very active in the community serving on the Pompton Lakes Planning Board and was President of the Pompton Lakes Little League to name a few.  John also started Lohse Manufacturing, his own Machine Shop.  In 1985 they moved to Montgomery Township and later moved to Canal Walk in Somerset, New Jersey.  John served on the Homeowner’s Association Board at Canal Walk and also at Century 1 Condominium, in Ocean City, Maryland, where he spent may vacations enjoying his beach front condo.  John and Harriet cherished fifty-nine and a half years of loving and loyal marriage until Harriet’s passing in 2015.

Following Harriet’s passing, John moved to Cedar Crest Village in Pompton Plains in April 2016.  John is survived by his daughter Nancy Schwartz and her husband Robert of Pompton Lakes and their children Eric of Denver, Colorado, Brett of Portland, Oregon and Timothy of Hammonton, New Jersey and his son John Lohse and his wife Sharon of Belle Mead and their children Amy Vallone and her husband David of Somerville, New Jersey, Brian Lohse of Chicago, Illinois and Eugen Szatkowski and his wife Jessica of Ashburn Virginia and their daughter Morgan.
