It is with great sadness that the family of John Anthony Graziosetta announces his passing on August 29, 2025 at Ocean University Medical Center, at the age of 75. He was comforted in his final moments by his beloved wife and children, who remained faithfully by his side.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, John was an amazing and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a dear friend to many.

John graduated from Lincoln High School in 1969 and was immediately drafted into the US Army and served as a Private. He served his country with dignity and grace receiving the National Defense Service Medal, Sharp Shooter Medal, and Good Conduct Medal.

John worked as a diesel generator technician all his life. Early in his career, John traveled all around the world for Giles and Ransome to places like Africa, Iran, and Ireland. Later, he concentrated on keeping commercial fishing vessels operational, becoming a very important and well-respected man in his field. John and Janice started their life together in Downingtown, PA relocating to Manahawkin, NJ to raise their family by the ocean.

He is survived by his wife Janice of 53 years, his son John Graziosetta, daughter Alexis Graziosetta-Tobias, son-in-law Robert Tobias, and his amazing and beloved granddaughter Reece Regina Tobias.

A memorial service will be held September 6, 2025 @11:30 at The Church in Brielle, 821 Riverview Drive, Brielle, NJ.

Services are entrusted to Jersey Shore Cremation Service, 43 Taylor Avenue, Manasquan, NJ - JerseyShoreCremation.com
