John had been employed for twenty plus years at St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Center until his recent retirement due to illness.

John had also been employed at Yonkers General Hospital as a counselor and prior to that he had been employed in the construction industry for various trade organizations. John also served in the US Army Reserve for 6 years.
John was an avid Yankees and Giants fan. His other passions in life were music and golf. He played the fiddle much to his family’s enjoyment and loved listening to all types of music especially in the car on his many trips to Maine, Virginia and South Carolina to visit family and to play golf.

He is also survived by his nieces Jennifer Giles(Dr. Patrick Giles), Christine Harkin(Peter), Margaux Roberts(Jason) and Elizabeth O’Donnell and Alejandra Harvey.
John was predeceased by his parents, his nephew John Patrick O’Donnell and the mother of his sons, Sandra Daly.
The family would also like to thank his special friends that helped in many different ways and his golfing buddies.
Funeral arrangements are in the care of Fortune-Keough Funeral Home in Saranac Lake. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 11:00am on Tuesday May 28 at St. Bernard’s Church in Saranac Lake with his very dear friend Rev. Dan Callahan officiating.
