John was an extremely caring person and would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. He never met a person that he did not like and everyone who met him admired and adored him at the same time. He loved sharing his wisdom through his stories and experiences, but most of all, he really loved having a good time. He believed in working hard and playing hard and loved sports. His home teams of Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins were often centers of excitement. In his younger days, he played football and ran track. Retirement found him many days on the golf course and when not there, on the beach.
He enjoyed wine in the afternoons and convinced his grandchildren that everyone has two stomachs with the bigger one for desserts, which is why you always have room for sweets. In his world, it is okay to eat dessert first. In retirement his passion for education turned to research. He would research with his grandchildren trying to find the best ice cream parlors around West Mifflin, PA and Myrtle Beach, SC.
He relished the 63 years of marriage with his wonderful wife, Kathryn, was extremely proud of his four children (John Jr. [Michelle], Michelle [John Silvestre], Tom [Stacey], and Lana [John Carmichael]), and even prouder of his 9 grandchildren (Olivia, Tyler, Alex, Bubba, Michael/Elizabeth, Payton, Victor, Ryley, and Laci). His many neighbors and friends were considered family and he always talked dearly about them. He appreciated their friendship and time they spent with him.
John cherished his family and his family cherished him. He had quite a sense of humor and would say that the older you get, the smarter he became. It was true! He would also say that when you look back, you do not want to have any regrets so work hard but also enjoy people and have fun as best and as often as you can. He had no regrets and will be remembered for making everyone feel valued. He will always be a reminder to those who knew him to fully embrace life and cherish every moment together.
John is also survived by his sister Nancy Kennedy, sister-in-law Rose Starmack, and preceded in death by his brother Paul Starmack, and brother-in-law Abe Kennedy.
