John Mozgai Obituary
Edison - John Mozgai Jr., 67, of Edison, passed away Sunday evening, August 9, 2020, peacefully at home surrounded by his loving daughters. A 1970 graduate of Edison High School, John began his career with the Edison Police Department in 1979 and retired at the rank of captain in 2011.
John chose a life of service in all regards, giving selflessly to his family, friends, and community. He enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson and traveling throughout this beautiful country.
"His word has always been his bond;
His firm handshake, his signature.
He does right by others
Because he doesn't understand any other way."
John was predeceased by his beloved parents, John and Susie Mozgai. He is survived by his daughters, Sharon and Rachel Mozgai; and a sister, Linda-Sue Larson.
Relatives and close friends are invited to visit on Thursday, August 13, 2020 from 6-8PM at Boylan Funeral Home, 10 Wooding Avenue, Edison. Cremation will be private.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Wounded Warrior WoundedWarriorProject.org

Jack was absolutely one of a kind and always an honorable man and LEO. He was the epitome to me of demonstrating the term walk softly and carry a big stick. We spent many a conversation talking about our families and the sheer love and pride he had for his girls was obvious. I know he will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him and work with him. Rest in peace dear friend. My prayers go out to your precious daughters.

John was a friend since grammar school. A top-notch guy and a class act in all respects. I pray for his soul in heaven and for peace and strength for his Daughters and all who had the privilege to know him.

Linda and family, please accept my sincere condolences on the death of “Jackie”. Occasionally I would run into him at the food market. We’d chat for awhile about the past, the old neighborhood, your folks and about life in general. Always a pleasant encounter. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a good guy. Peace and love, Rick Kady
