John "Jack" Stafford's Obituary
John “Jack” Stafford
Born June 9, 1936, in New Castle, Pennsylvania to William and Marion (Brennan) Stafford, Jack was called Home to rest on October 28, 2025, in Cinnaminson, NJ at age 89.
He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Lillian (Regulska); daughters Linda (Joe) Cassidy, Lisa (Mike) Morrow, and Laurie (Carl) Contino; grandchildren Dilen, Nicholas, Joey, John, Olivia, Alyssa, and Ethan; and many nieces and extended family. He was predeceased by his daughter Liane and granddaughter Brooke.
The youngest of five children, Jack proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps after completing his education. In 1963, he married the love of his life, Lillian, at St. Adalbert’s Church in Philadelphia, where they began their family. The couple raised their daughters in Philadelphia before settling in Palmyra and later in Cinnaminson.
Jack had a long and successful career as a salesman. He and Lil shared a love of travel, particularly cruising. Jack always looked forward to visiting with his daughters and grandchildren. Known for being a natural at small talk and always ready to share a laugh, he never missed an opportunity to enjoy a gathering especially with family. Jack loved hunting for treasures at yard sales and antique shops, and he enjoyed spending time tinkering in his basement workshop. He will be remembered for his love for his family, his charm, and his sense of humor.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend Jack's visitation on Monday, November 10th, 2025, from 10am - 11:30am in Sacred Heart Church, located at 103 4th St, Riverton, NJ 08077. A funeral mass will be held in Jack's honor immediately following the visitation.
