John Jauch Obituary
John was born on 9/29/1945 on Shiller Street in Elizabeth NJ to parents Walter and Ruth Jauch. He had one brother Walter Jauch who passed away in 1997.
John was in the US Army during the Vietnam Way where he was awarded a Purple Heart. John married Elizabeth Watson of Carteret and had two children. Jason K Jauch 1974 and Brian T Jauch 1975. A graduate of Kean College he spent is working years as a Sales Manager for AGF in Elizabeth later Lakewood NJ. In 2013 John retired and moved to Tucson Arizona to live near his youngest son Brian.
My dad had a great love for his family and the heart of gold. It seems like his mission in life was to make people smile. A lifelong member of the VFW Post #6061 in Colonia he participated in many events benefiting veterans in local nursing homes. There will be a small service held by the VFW in his honor. Interested parties should contact me via email at [email protected] for details. If you would like to make a donation in my fathers memory buy yourself a lottery ticket. He always had dreams of winning the lottery.

Jason & Brian,
Condolences on your Dad's passing. I will always remember him for his dedication to family, his sense of humor and his service to our country, which he was so proud of. I'm sure he is catching up with my dad and grandma. May he rest in peace.

John Jauch was my late husband Walter's brother. We all kind of grew up together since my husband and I were teenage sweethearts. John remained my friend even after my husband passed. We both were involved in veterans groups he being a purple heart wounded veteran and member of VFW and me President of the Polish American Vets to support my Dad's service during WW2. John spent six months in hospital in the states after stepping on a booby trap in Viet Nam almost dying and nearly losing a leg. He was a kid when drafted but became a soldier in the Army. His Army gear is donated to the Cape May,NJ Vietnam Vet Museum. You were a good friend John and will be missed. Love you, Joanie Jauch

Dad,
It's only been days since I last saw you. I want to pick up the phone and call just to say I love you. You have given me a lifetime of love, and I know you know how much I love you but you don't know how much I miss you. We talked about everything and you always had a way of making me feel like everything was going to be ok. It's not, you are not here. I am supposed to pick up your stuff at the VA and I can't I just cant go. The VFW is going to have a service in your honor. don't have dates yet but working on it with the Post. I love you Dad, keep your eyes on me. I wrote a story about your journey to heaven, you boarding a train telling me not to worry and what its like when you arrive. It's a little corny but I'm not a writer. Be at peace dad, drive your cars, visit with grandma, and have all the seafood you want. Just please don't forget about me.
