JOHN G McMENAMIN

MARCH 22,1948 - MARCH 16,2025

John was a devoted husband to Theresa, a supportive and caring father to Kevin (Allison), Karen (Matthew), Katie (John), and Janet (Stephen), and a loving pop-pop to Colin, Sean, Nicholas, Ryan, Aiden, Jackson, Connor, Cecilia, Tessa, Brianna and Christopher.

You could find him on weekends cheering on Penn State football, watching NASCAR (or really any kind of racing), or one of the Philly sports teams (just not the Flyers).

He loved molasses dainties from Douglass's fudge, making frequent road trips down the shore to stock up. And his house was always supplied with at least a month's worth of Coca-Cola.

John was an avid reader, tearing through more books in a month than most people read their entire adulthood.

He was a man of few words, and not known to wear his heart on his sleeve very often. But he had unspoken ways of showing his love, by being there for you in times of need, or doing something as simple as making sure you have the right car cleaning supplies.

He will be dearly missed by his family.
