John Stanley Superson

HEBRON John Stanley Superson, 63, of Crystal View Way, in Hebron, N.Y., fell asleep in death on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007, at Glens Falls Hospital after a long battle with cancer. John was born Nov. 22, 1943, in Holyoke, Mass., to Thaddeus and Wanda Superson. John was well known in the community as a faithful, zealous and dedicated man to his god, Jehovah. He spent the last 28 years of his life tirelessly helping many come to an accurate knowledge of bible truth. He was a kind, loving, compassionate, self-sacrificing man who would regularly drop whatever he was doing to help a friend. Family and friends will miss him greatly. John enjoyed many sports, being quite the athlete himself, always finding time to toss a ball or organize a hike with the young one of the congregation. He enjoyed fishing, hiking, the ocean and, in most recent times, trying his hand at gardening, planting a wide variety of trees and flowers at his home in Hebron. John is survived by his mother, Wanda Superson; one sister, Carol Sedar and her husband, Bob, of South Windsor, Conn.; and two nieces, Diane Sedar of South Windsor, Conn., and Dawn Cornish and her husband, Joseph, of Wilmington, Mass. John was predeceased by his father, Thaddeus Superson, who died in 1992. A memorial service will be given at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Route 22 in Hebron, N.Y., on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007, at 2 p.m. Roger Hayward, the presiding overseer of the Granville Congregation, will be giving the memorial discourse. Arrangements are under the direction of the Robert M. King Funeral Home, 23 Church St., Granville, NY 12832.
