John Cummings Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Pizzi Funeral Home on Jan. 15, 2026.
John "JC" Cummings, 60, of Harrington Park, New Jersey, passed away on January 12, 2026.
Born and raised in Harrington Park, JC lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, and an easy laugh that warmed every room he entered.

JC was the beloved partner of 25 years to Nancy Shearman, a devoted brother to James Cummings, and a cherished uncle to Caitlin, Fiona, and Seamus. He was a loyal friend to many and was always the first to lend a hand when someone needed support.

A skilled carpenter, JC worked for many years with Local 157, where he took pride in his craft and the people he worked alongside. Beyond his work, JC was a passionate music lover, especially of The Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, and The Doors. Whether sharing a favorite song or telling a story, he brought joy and connection to those around him.

JC will be remembered for his humor, his wit, his sweet heart, and the countless ways he made others' lives brighter. His spirit will be deeply missed and lovingly carried forward by all who knew him.

Family and friends will gather to celebrate JC's life on Saturday, January 17, 2026 from 3-5 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Ave, Northvale, NJ.
