John S. Steib

Beloved husband, father, and supreme commander John Seton Steib reluctantly passed away at home suddenly on Saturday, August 25, 2012. He will be sadly and sorely missed by all that knew him. Born on November 15, 1941 in Newark, NJ to Joseph and Helen Steib, his early childhood was spent in Newark and later raised in Scranton, PA until graduating high school. After attending numerous colleges he graduated from Walsh College in North Canton, Ohio where he met the love of his life, Mary Jane. After staking his claim and promising her diamonds and/or good cut glass, they married on June 18, 1966. He worked successfully in the various professions of banking, insurance, and piracy. He returned to New Jersey in 1970 and worked for First National Bank of Toms River where he made lifelong friendships. He found his true calling and happiness when he founded his own company, Water Works Pool Service with his wife and children in 1976. He continued to make people laugh until his passing doing what he loved, interacting with the many people that passed through his doors and his life. He loved travelling the world with his wife and family and always shared stories of his travels with anyone that would listen. Those who will miss him and his crooked smile terribly are his wife of 46 years, Mary Jane, his daughter Leslie, son Christopher, daughter Kathryn, son-in-law Heath, his favorite…Tula, a large extended family, and his Water Works family of Melissa, Barry, Ryan, Anthony and Jody. One of a kind, he will be missed every day. …punch and pie.
