John Ferry Obituary
John worked as an electrician for many years and he found peace and solace in reading the Bible or in a quiet morning hunting in the woods where he was happiest. His love for the outdoors was matched only by his love for animals, a love he shared with his cherished dog, Sam, and his cats, Rocky and Jinxy.
John's legacy is carried forward by his beloved family. He is survived by his father, John Thomas Ferry, Sr.; his longtime partner, Joann Starkweather; step-daughter, Marisa Starkweather; sister, Lisa Ann Nunziato (Al); and his adoring pets. His memory will also be treasured by his numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A Memorial Service for John will be planned at a later date, please check back for updates. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to The Animal Welfare Association, 509 Centennial Blvd, Voorhees, NJ 08043 or online at DONATE to the Animal Welfare Association - Voorhees

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this condolence. Joann, I am so very sorry for your loss of John and the emptiness that you are feeling at this time. To Jan and Lisa, the loss of a son and brother is indescribable. Memories will fill your heart and tears and smiles will come at times you least expect it. May John be in the arms of Jesus as he welcomes John home. I have many memories of John and that is how I will remember him.
Love
Aunt Peg E
