He was a loving grandfather to Frank Hudson, Melissa Krioneris, (George), Hayley Sheridan, Gabriel Sheridan, Keira Sheridan, Shain Sheridan, Braden Sheridan, Branden Alioto and great grandfather to Kris Krioneris, Alex Krioneris, Lucas Krioneris, Sophia Krioneris and Landen Alioto. John also leaves behind his sisters and brothers in law, many nieces and nephews, extended family, as well as family in Ireland.

John worked for the NYC Transit for over 20 years as a bus driver. After retiring from the MTA, he worked for the US Postal Service for 12 years.

John was a proud Irish and American citizen. He celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by hosting a party every year. He was the President of the NYCTA Emerald Society and a volunteer firefighter on Long Island. He had many interests including playing cards, taking photos, and sports. He was an avid Yankees and Jets fan. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and was a good bowler. Going to casinos and playing scratch-off games were some of his favorite pastimes, especially when he won!

John was a family man and a friend to everyone. On a nice day, you would often see him outside socializing with neighbors and friends while listening to Irish or 50’s music.

The Sheridan family thanks everyone for their kindnesses and prayers during this very difficult time.
