John Francis Martin Deter

To John's family,
I was very sorry to learn of his passing. We hunted together once or twice, I believe on the Forsyth property. I felt a connection with him as a fellow duck hunter and decoy carver. Our fathers were teammates on PPBHS championship football teams. I wish you all comfort and peace.

Rest easy my friend! Say hi to my mom (Carol Jackus) when the gates open ❤

Mr. Deter taught me it was okay to be me and that my life was value to share.

My deepest condolences to old friends from me and my family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. John and I met in 1961 at Saint Peter's School in first grade with Sister Regina Delores.

Although I left Saint Peter's for Bay Head School, we were classmates again at PPBHS and graduated together. John's wife Wendy and I were good friends growing up and...

So very sorry for the loss to the family, and locals

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
