John's obituary

John "Jack" Crilley, 66, of Pearl River, NY passed away peacefully November 4, 2022 surrounded by his family.

Jack was born on February 18, 1956 to John and Catherine Crilley in Woodside, NY, where he lived for most of his life.  Jack married  Patricia Walker in 1974 and they went on to have four children.  Patty and his children were his great loves and filled his life  with countless happy memories.

Always quick with a joke, a kind word and a helping hand, Jack was loved by all who had the pleasure to know him.  He was a man of many hidden talents including woodworking, photography and poetry writing.  He loved nature, cartoons, his NY Giants but most of all music.  It was a rare sight to run into Jack without his headphones on with Dylan or The Stones playing in the background.

Jack is survived by his children - Heather Crilley, Melissa (Mark) Gleeson, Jacqueline (Allen) Mansfield and John (Adrienne) Crilley.  His Grandchildren - Anthony, Reilly, Emma, Liam, Risgby, Cate, Olivia and Kelsey.  His siblings Michael (Patricia) Crilley, Mary Coffey and Catherine (Karl) Stigell, as well as countless cousins who he loved dearly.  Jack is predeceased by his parents John and Catherine and his sister Cornelia.

A funeral Mass to celebrate Jack's life will be held on Friday, November 11, 2022 at 11:30 a.m.

St. Francis of Assisi Church - 128 Parrot Rd, West Nyack, NY

Mass will be followed by a KickA** party for all - Just the way Jack would have wanted!
