John R. Police, 91, passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025. He was born on June 21, 1934, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, to the late Ethel and John Police.
John was one of 11 children raised in a large Italian immigrant family. His upbringing shaped his strong values, humility, faith, and devotion to hard work. John’s love for his family was deep and everlasting. He was a man who led with empathy and generosity, two qualities instilled in his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
John graduated from Stowe High School in 1953 and spent the majority of his career as a production supervisor at A. Stucki Company. His coworkers often described him as dependable, honest, and always willing to help others.
A devoted Catholic, John practiced his faith through service, kindness, and community. He was deeply involved in his parish, volunteering countless hours in the church kitchen, especially during the beloved fish fries where his warmth and willingness to help always prevailed. John was also a proud and active member of the Knights of Columbus, where he formed lasting friendships, while continuing a lifelong commitment to faith and service.
Above all, John cherished his beloved wife of 71 years, Connie. Together, they built a beautiful life grounded in faith, family, laughter and unconditional love. Their marriage was a true partnership of devotion and mutual support. Connie and John loved traveling, creating traditions, and sharing moments that brought the entire family together.
A man of many passions, John was known for his baking, with specialties of homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, and biscotti, all of which he enthusiastically shared. John was an avid cyclist and spirited competitor in horseshoes, bocce ball, billiards, cornhole, and darts. John did everything with a warm heart, kindness and humor.
John is survived by his cherished daughter, Jackie (Chuck) Fusina, and sons, Rick (Janice) and Ron (Kim). He is a proud grandfather, remembered with love by his grandchildren: Matt (Sarah), Shannon, Stephanie (Chris), Lauren, Jessica (Colin), Jason, and Ben. He is also leaving a beautiful legacy as a great-grandfather to Sofia, Isabelle, Paxton, and Adelyn. John was a loving brother to Betty, Jimmy, Donna, and is preceded in death by siblings Helen, Anthony, Enis, Mary, Rosie, Frank, and young Jimmy. He is also survived by many dear nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family members, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Where to start about Uncle Johnny. Well, he was one of the first people (along with Aunt Connie) to show me grace. He taught me to ice skate and he definitely taught me that it was ok to be happy and enjoy things in life.
It was always the little things that stuck with me and helped make me who I am today. I will be forever grateful to Uncle Johnny and I will always think of him when I pass a skating rink. RIP you were an Angel among men.
While we grieve John’s loss, we also celebrate his incredibly long tenure on this earth. Rest in peace, John. I’ll need some more of your famous cinnamon rolls when I make it to heaven.
Uncle Johnny was always so kind and a true gentleman. I have many wonderful memories of the time spent with him and Aunt Connie over the years. They both loved to entertain, cook, and gather with family. He will be missed by all who were privileged to know him and his kindness and positive attitude. May he rest in peace.
I was so shocked to hear this news. John was a wonderful and personable man. I am proud to call him “Cuz”🙏 Sending prayers love and strength to all🙏🙏🙏❤️
