John passed away peacefully at his home in Marina, California Friday 2/3/23 accompanied by his wife, Yong, after a lengthy hospitalization following surgery.
John was born in Nanitcoke, Pennsylvania to Marjorie and Walter Lisiewski. He was raised in Schenectady, New York until he entered the Army in 1966. He served as a large vehicle transport driver until his discharge in July of 1972.
He moved to Monterey County, CA where he lived for more than 50 years. There he met his soon to be wife Yong, who he married in 1980. Yong had a young daughter, Kimberly, who he adopted as his own in 1981. He and Yong lived happily together until his death. During that time he worked in Facilitiy Mantenance for the Civilian Department of Defence at Fort Ord and Fort Hunter Ligget until he retired.
John was considered an extremely friendly and generous man who made friends wherever he went. He grew up in the Catholic Church and returned to a religious life in his mid life and became very active in his church where he was very appreciated by the congregation for his involvement.
