John Sipos Obituary

Brother John is gone. John D. Sipos passed away on December 12th, 2016. He graduated from the prestigious school of Hard Knocks, where he earned a BS with honors. He went on to an illustrious career in sales were he was awarded numerous accolades by his clientele and industry leaders alike. He was a patron of many charitable organizations, including but not limited to, the insufferable seed of wayward women. He, like his mother before him, opened his home and heart to all visitors, vagabonds, and tramps, and provided all with the epitome of southern hospitality. He was a fixture and character of the city he loved and a true embodiment of New Orleans. He lived hard, played hard, loved hard, and gave all he could. He was irreplaceable and unforgettable. Thank you for the dance. He is survived by his two daughters and a granddaughter, eight siblings and countless kookie friends. The celebration of life will be held Saturday January 14th at Vaughn's Lounge, 800 Lesseps St. New Orleans, La. at 3:00 pm. "Where ya at, ya Hurd me?!"

When I think about John, I think of Tujague's. Steve is sitting in his spot at the back corner table, Forrest-the Startender- is behind the bar, there's a Saint's game on the television, Wigget and Brazzi are at the bar along with all the cast, of some of the best characters, a gal could ever hope to know. John's got an iced, cold Budweiser in his coozie & he's talkin' trash, making everyone laugh & laugh & laugh! Looking at those eyes of his...they were something else, so bright, greeny-blue, always darting around, aware of everything and everyone, just so full of mischief, intelligence and more mischief-talk about a twinkle!!!! Patsy just called the bar to ask John about something or another...Boy oh boy, did John love his Mamma.
I'd like to think that, most probably, they're all in that place that used to be, and still is-somewhere-now.

As I sit here writing your eulogy, I can't help but think how lucky I was to have you in my life. You were a rock and a great teacher in my life. Your lessons will help guide me throughout my live, both personally and professionally. Towards the end, you always asked how you would repay me...you had that all wrong. I'm still working on repaying you, and I will continue to do so throughout the rest of my time on this earth by sharing with the world what you taught me...by making others laugh and feel welcomed, no matter the circumstances. Rest easy, Brother John! You're a one of a kind! #whereyatyaheardme

Brother John is gone, but will never be forgotten. From his Banana Room' apartment at 1223, to Johnny Matassa's, to Ursuline, and all points between, it was a fun ride!

John Sipos was as New Orleans as they come
He was a famous local spirit.destined for greatness . He lived New Orleans, he was a true New Orleanean. A person you couldn't miss , and will be greatly missed. He had his own barstool at Tujaques When Steven Ladder died John lost his best friend, never recovered from that great loss. John is in Gods hands. Rest In Peace dear friend . I will love you always as will the rest of your family & friends.

Beth, Joe, Mike, and family. Very sorry to hear about John. I met him at Two Jerks (Tujague's) years ago and could not believe how entertaining he could be. Then again--he was a Sipos. Take care and hope to see you all soon.

Brother John Homie is missing you big time...
We always kept each other entertained... The associated stories from fond memories kept a roar in us which made for bright outlook into our future... You always cared about my well being and I yours and for the last seven years we were phone buddies speaking for at least 45 min. at a stretch.... We were going to get that cabin in the woods a big unrealistic dream considering we both have spinal stenosis and herniated disk.... Lol can you imagine us cutting wood... I'll see you when I get there...
Love always Homes

John could aggravate the hell out of you, but he also made you laugh like no other. He loved life, his family and friends to the moon. You're the greatest John, thanks for the memories.

Nobody in the world could make me laugh like John Sipos. He was a true friend. John could bring out the sun on the cloudiest day and make you feel like you were the Queen of Mardi Gras when you were feeling blue. He was selfless, compassionate,generous and the best road trip buddy that I could ask for. I will miss him for the rest of my days. Rest in peace John, you put the glitter on my sidewalk.

John - A one-of-a-kind character in our large Early family. A man that was a true New Orleanian who loved his family & the City more than life itself!

Aunt Patsy is waiting for you with open arms & her heart still overflowing with love. Give her a hug for me.

Rest in peace, Cousin...sadly missed by many!

John was one of a kind and I'm happy that I grew up with him and the whole Sipos family. May Heaven have a green place for him.

there was nothing better than cousin John, he was truly one of a kind. The first time I met cousin john was at Judge Early's house on Owens boulevard, he was dancing around the house with a top hat on blowing a whistle and opening and closing the umbrella in the front room. My uncle Brian always talked about cousin John in a fond manner and Uncle Brian talked about him with a big smile on his face always. John Sipos was my cousin and he would have been your friend, the man never hurt anybody and made everybody laugh, the John Sipos of the world are what we tell stories about and write songs about, they truly were as Frank Davis would say Naturally Nawlins, John Sipos was my cousin and he would have been your friend, cousin Robbie
