John J. Jagozinski, 93, a lifelong resident of Swoyersville, passed into eternal life on Tuesday evening, September 08, 2015, at the Gino Merli Veterans Center, Scranton, where he was recently a guest.

His loving wife is Josephine (Krenzel) Jagozinski. Together, John and Josephine celebrated their 67^th wedding anniversary on February 7^th.

Born on February 06, 1922, in Swoyersville, John was the son of the late George and Victoria (Dzugan) Yagojinski.

A United States Coast Guard Veteran, John honorably served his country for four years during World War II.

A mason by trade, John was self-employed for many years prior to retiring. He was also a homebuilder in his earlier years, constructing several homes throughout the Wyoming Valley. He was especially proud of building his own home as well as both his son and daughter’s homes. John was known for being extremely talented and meticulous with his work.

John was a lifelong member of the former Saint Mary of Czestochowa Roman Catholic Church, Swoyersville. Following the consolidation of his church, he became a member of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Roman Catholic Parish, Swoyersville.

A proud veteran, John held life membership with the American Legion, Andrew Lawrence Post 644, Swoyersville.

John enjoyed many things in life, especially hunting, fishing, cooking, gardening and reading. His greatest enjoyment by far was spending time with his beloved family. He will forever be remembered as a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

In addition to his parents, George and Victoria Yagojinski, John was preceded in death by his brothers, George Yagojinski, Frank Yagojinski, and Joseph Yagojinski, who passed away just five days prior on September 3^rd; and his sisters, Mary Kislow and Sophie Burke.
