John J McAdams

John J. McAdams died peacefully Friday, August 23, 2019 following complications from Parkinson’s Disease and a stroke.

John was born August 30, 1931 in Scranton, PA to Margaret (Walsh) and James Clark McAdams.  He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Elaine (Duggan).  Together they raised their family as original home owners in Levittown, PA.  

John will be sadly missed by his children:  Maureen Kennedy (Richard), Karen Kervick, Patricia Price (Tom), Paula Travis (Dave), John “Whitey” McAdams (Judy), several grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, niece and nephews.

John was predeceased by a grandson John Christopher McAdams.

John was known by many nicknames but he was the proudest when called “Daddy” and “Uncle Mac”.  He enjoyed playing Santa Claus for his daughter’s kindergarten class.  He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Michael the Archangel Parish.  He enjoyed bowling, track, participating in Senior games but above all his family.

He spent his last years in the company of his “Second” family at Sunrise Assisted Living where he delighted in being Santa Claus for their annual Christmas Party and resident leprechaun for St. Patrick’s Day.

John’s family would like to thank the staff of Sunrise Assisted Living who made him feel accepted and comfortable and the Staff at St. Mary Hospital for their attention and care the past weeks.
