John Carpinella, on November 6, 2020, of Gloucester Twp. Age 77. Beloved husband of Linda (nee Malandra). Devoted father of Michael (Danielle) and Joseph (Stephanie). Loving grandfather of Anthony, Briana, and Mia. Dear brother of the late Antoinette Kane. Cherished uncle of Lisa (Brad), Alex, and Gianna. Brother-in-law of Patricia Mazella (Vincent).
John was born and raised in Roxborough. PA. He was a graduate of Cardinal Dougherty high school and later served in the United States National Guard.
He worked as a coverings and interiors fitter/upholster for Boeing and the Philadelphia Navy Yard. After his marriage to his lovely Linda they moved to South Philadelphia and started their family. Later on they become residents of Sicklerville NJ. He was a dedicated baseball coach of Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association for many years.
He was always there for everyone, his wife, his children, his friends, and especially his grandchildren. He always lent a helping hand to everyone who needed it and was the talented handyman always “on call.” His friends were special and he had many. His love for his family was evident. He never missed a school or sporting event. He loved watching his grandchildren play so much he would even take his friends to watch them too—always the cheerleader in chief for his grandchildren’s sporting teams.
John enjoyed working on home projects, cooking, antique cars, listening to oldies music, and taking long walks. He loved going down the shore and to the beach to enjoy the ocean breezes. Of course he will be eternally missed by all but know he’ll be enjoying a new walk in the sunshine.
Family and friends are invited to attend his viewing Thursday 8:30 – 10:30 am at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Road, Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 am at SS. Peter & Paul RC Church, Washington Twp. Interment New St. Mary’s Cemetery, Bellmawr.
