Obituary of John J. McCloskey
John J. McCloskey, of West Deptford, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2018, surrounded by his loving family. He was 84.
Legacy
John devoted his life to his family and had a strong faith in God. He proudly served our country in the US Army and dedicated 45 years working for the Philadelphia Inquirer as a pressman. He was a laid back, funny and affectionate man, who enjoyed golfing, family, vacations and loved ice cream and Hershey’s chocolate bars. He was known as a character and often spoke his mind. Being the family photographer (famous for his butt shots) and tinkering with electronics were some of his favorite activities. A kind soul among us, John will be missed deeply by his loved ones.
