John Kopitskie Obituary, Death – John Edward Kopitskie, who was eighty years old and lived in Spotswood, New Brunswick, passed away in the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick on the 15th of May, 2011. During his childhood, John was raised in Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. He then moved to Old Bridge for a considerable amount of time before relocating to Spotswood in 1969. In the year 2001, he retired from his work as a driver for United Exposition of Monmouth Junction.
Additionally, he was a communicant of Immaculate Conception Church, in addition to being a member of the Polish American Citizen’s Club and Knights of Columbus Council 4907, both of which are located in Spotswood. When his children were younger, he enjoyed going camping with them and was an avid sea fisherman. He also enjoyed fishing in the ocean.
Using the resources provided by the University of Pennsylvania Sharing Network, he was able to undergo a liver transplant in the year 2003, which was six months after the cancer was found. As a result of this transplant, John was able to remain alive for an additional eight years and spend time with his loved ones and friends. A journey to Italy that John and his wife Tina took in 2007 for a total of five weeks was referred to by John as “the trip of a lifetime.” We will miss him deeply since he was a kind spouse, father, and grandfather. He will be greatly missed.
