May 17, 1953 – Dec 6, 2021
John Allan Plascak, age 68. Loving husband of Judy (nee Schepis). Devoted Father to Jeannine Voinovich (Paul), Jamie (Antony Canterna), and Jesse (Megan). Fun-loving Papa to Andrew, Nate, Jake, Leah, Gia, and Mason. Son to the late Andrew and Angela (nee Aynik). Brother to Andrew (the late Virginia), the late Eugene (Theresa), David (the late Linda), Joseph (Paula), and Robert.
High school sweethearts, married 47 years, John and Judy enjoyed a life together with family and friends. Their love will live on into eternity. John was always willing to lend a hand, offer guidance, provide support and just be a great friend to all. Throughout his 42 years at Kapton Caulking, he became a mentor to many through his good work and companionship.
His most favorite activities involved his grandchildren: becoming Andrew and Nate’s #1 fan by attending every lacrosse, soccer and sporting event, exploring the backyard with Jake, giving an in-class demonstration during construction week at Leah’s preschool, riding the ATV with Gia and building puzzles with Mason. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten because he has filled so many hearts and minds with loving memories. Rest in peace with God dear Husband, Dad and Papa.

Read MoreDear Judy & Family, I was saddened to hear of John´s passing. You two made the sweetest couple! I always remember your kindness to me and my kids, during my new single-Mom days.

My wife knew John through her work with Judy at NRMS but I only met him years later once Judy began caring for our then new-born two days a week. When first meeting him, John struck me as a cross between Clint Eastwood & the Marlboro Man (though he clearly had no intention of cultivating either image). A few months later Judy & John came up in conversation with a neighbor who went to school with them, she fondly reminisced that they were "greasers" & that she was jealous because they had...
