Jack McLaughlin

July 6, 1957 - December 28, 2016

McLAUGHLIN, JOHN J. “JACK” – 59, of Villas passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. Born in Philadelphia, PA, Jack has been a resident of Villas since 1983. During his younger years and while living in the Philadelphia area he was a Golden Gloves Boxer. Jack was truly one of a kind, a man of few words but one of great actions. He loved to help family and friends and was so humble in doing so. His smile, sense of humor and his laugh always made him the life of the party. His love and loyalty to his family was unconditional. Some of Jack’s most treasured moments were spent with bikes rides to the bay to enjoy beautiful sunsets; lounging in the pool; doing puzzles and watching his favorite football team for decades - lose week after week in his EAGLES MAN CAVE. With dedication and a remarkable work ethic, Jack took great pride in the work he did as a painter while employed by Robert Ferguson & Sons over the past 23 years. Predeceased by his parents, William and Henrietta McLaughlin, Jack is dearly missed by his loving family which includes his wife, Anne (nee McCarthy); daughter, Antoinette McCarthy; son, John McLaughlin, Jr.; five siblings, Shelly (and Paul) DiRenzo, Billy McLaughlin, Bruce (and Marianne) McLaughlin, Scott McLaughlin and Kelly (and Mark) Magliocco; also his in-laws, nieces, nephews, dear friends and co-workers.
