He was also an industrial arts teacher and department supervisor at Sayreville War Memorial High School for 30 years.
John attended Pennsylvania Military College for a year before volunteering to serve in 1954. After serving two years in the United States Army, he received a bachelor of science in industrial arts from Montclair State College (now Montclair State University) and master of arts in industrial education from Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey). A lifelong student of architecture, he pursued his talent and passion for building well into his retirement.

A disciplined man who lived his life with dignity and class, John will be remembered as a positive self-starter who was insightful and not afraid to take risks. He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and teacher with a unique sense of humor that helped him through many of life’s challenges. John had a gentle way of guiding his children. He led by example and will forever be remembered by his family for saying, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” He possessed a strong work ethic that earned him a full, enjoyable and meaningful life spent with family and friends. After the many successes throughout his life, he remained humble. John will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by many.
Memorial services will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations to the Laura Lee Novak Special Needs Trust in care of Donald C. Novak, 2712 Healthgate Way, Land 0′ Lakes, Florida, 34638.
