John McGill

John McGill, age 69, of Bordentown, NJ passed away on July 3, 2022. He is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 47 years, Sandy (Kunkes) McGill, son John McGill and daughter-in-law Jackie (Cordivari) McGill, of Cranford, NJ, son Scott McGill and daughter- in-law Alice (Tran) McGill of Broomall, PA, brother David McGill and his wife Adrienne, sisters Denise (McGill) Avallone and her husband Roger, and Maureen (McGill) Howley and her husband Michael; brothers-in-law Anthony Dilodovico, Mitchell Kunkes and his wife Lenora Paglia; and four treasured grandchildren. Predeceased by parents, John and Teresa McGill, brother Terrence McGill, and sister Mary Ellen Dilodovico. John was born and raised in the Graham Beach section of Staten Island, NY; one of six children to John and Teresa. After attending and graduating from New Dorp High School for the seemingly sole purpose of meeting Sandy in Earth Science class, he spent a career in gas utility construction as an Operating Engineer and Shop Steward with Con Edison in Manhattan and other private companies in New Jersey. Marrying Sandy and settling later in Howell, NJ with their two sons and then retiring to Bordentown, NJ. Like his father before him, he loved working with his hands and was an avid modeler and craftsman. No one worked better with duct tape and liquid nails. He was an avid cycler and could often be found circling the Manasquan reservoir daily at dawn, sharing sunrise photos with family and friends. His passion for loud music and laughter would only be surpassed by his love for others. He found joy and enlightenment in relationships and conversation with family, friends and strangers. It wasn't until later in life that he had found his true purpose: As "Pa" to his four grandchildren. These were his people. His perfect audience, his ice cream crew. The highlights of his days and the proudest of his accomplishments. A kind, thoughtful and compassionate man, he gave all of himself to those who knew him well, and to those whom he had just met. Taken from us too soon, as the best always are.
