Obituary of John A. Sebok
Piscataway – John A. Sebok, 77, passed away Saturday afternoon, July 11, 2020 at home surrounded by his devoted family.
Born and raised in Carteret, John settled to Piscataway in 1967 where he and his wife, Patricia (Milligan) raised their family, whom he treasured above all else in the world.
A Veteran of the United States Army, John served our country with the 1st Battalion, 81st Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Division in Fort Hood, TX. He went on to work with Supermarkets General for 38 years as their Master Locksmith.
John loved working on projects, especially with his children and grandchildren, and had a knack for inventing unique solutions to any problem. He was passionate about discovering creative ways to reuse and recycle everything. A loyal and enthusiastic spectator at all of his grandchildren’s games, John and Pat were the first to arrive and the last to leave every event.
John felt it was his duty and greatest joy to serve others in a positive and meaningful way. He led with his heart and was always the first to lend a hand. John made friends everywhere he went with a laugh that roared like thunder and lit up the room.
Surviving are his cherished wife of 55 years, Pat Sebok and two devoted daughters, Renee Skibinski (Glynn) of Alexandria Township, NJ and Shari Norgard (Craig) of Kingwood Township, NJ. His four grandchildren, Carly and Jack Skibinski, and Jake and Emily Norgard will miss their Pop Pop dearly.
John was an extraordinary man of great integrity, loyalty, and love who lived each day with selfless purpose and clarity. He will be forever missed by those who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
