John M. Krusinski's Obituary
John Martin Krusinski - Born July 4, 1956 - Entered into Rest February 4, 2026
John lived a simple life filled with compassion, strength and a deep love for his family. He was a proud member of the Sheetmetal Workers Local 33. John was a hard worker and respected by his fellow union members.
His love for music was unmistakable and a large part of who he was. His playlist was as diverse as his spirit. It was not uncommon to find John sitting in his favorite chair in the family room or outside on his deck with some kind of music playing in the background. He felt musical lyrics said what he felt when words were not enough. His love of music will live on in every song that reminds us of him.
Gardening was his true passion. He had a special gift and his plants reflected that gift in how they reached their full potential and blossom under his care. Gardening brought him peace and purpose. He planted each flower, tree or shrub with care, watching them take root and grow. Neighbors would often comment how beautiful and colorful his yard looked. John was never content to leave his yard looking the same for too long. He was continually moving plants and reshaping his landscape, always striving to make it better.
He leaves behind a family who will forever cherish his love of music and the beauty of his landscape he so lovingly attended.
