John Cusimano Obituary

John (Jan) Cusimano, 88, passed away, Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at his apartment in Boise, Idaho of natural causes.

Jan was born September 7, 1931 in Utica, New York to Ida R. Whipper. He met his wife, Shirley while stationed at Mtn. Home Airforce Base. They married October 5, 1952 and after 62 years of marriage he was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley.

Jan and Shirley had three daughters, Leslie (Terry) Voyles, Jana Lee (Dan) Zillner and Melanie Braum. He had two grandsons, Bart (Mandi) Zillner and Alex Braum; and two great grandsons, Jackson and Cohen Zillner.

Dad was a physicist at the INEL for 37 years. He was a proud veteran and president of the AEC Sportsman Club for many years. Our dad was a true fisherman at heart. Dads favorite fishing companion was his wife, Shirley (Mom). Spending hours fishing (not always catching) was his favorite past time, which he enjoyed his entire life.

Dad, you are loved and missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Jan, I worked with him in dosimetry for years. I remember his first day he came to the site, our director was John Horan, they were alike in stature, so we always teased him of being Horan's son. Jan was so nice and great to work with. I admired and respected him, always a gentleman and I thought the world of his Dear wife. I'm so sorry for his family.

We send you all our sympathy at the passing of your dad. We loved Jan, we have known him for many years, always enjoyed hearing about the fishing. One of my more recent memory though was of him instructing Dave on how to use a blood monitoring oxygen sensor one morning at church. He will never leave from our hearts.
