Obituary for John M. Longenecker, Jr.

John M.  Longenecker, Jr.
John (Jack) M. Longenecker, Jr. went home to be with the Lord on December 11th at the age of 81 years.

Born July 1, 1936, he was the son of John M. Longenecker, Sr. and Florence (Burkey) Longenecker, who preceded him in death as did his sisters Roberta Longenecker and Nancy (Longenecker) Shepherd. He was married for 50 years to his wife Geraldine (Ford) Longenecker. The Lord blessed him with 3 children, Lorrie (Longenecker) Dunn, wife of Christopher Dunn, Stevens, John M. Longenecker, husband of Debra (Knight) Longenecker, Denver and Jason L. Longenecker, husband of Kathleen (Harnish) Longenecker, Denver. He was also blessed with 11 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and a great granddaughter due in February, 2018.

He loved fishing, beautiful sunrises, flying his American flags in honor of his country, and being with his family. He touched a lot of lives with his amazing sense of humor. His jobs included managing grocery stores, a restaurant, and assembling furniture at a local company. After he retired he worked for an excavating company as a parts runner. He loved working with wood and made a lot of “special” things for his grandchildren and children. He served in his church as Treasurer and served on the board as a deacon and on the board of missions and helped on the finance committee.

There will be a memorial service in his honor on January 6, 2018, 10:30 AM at Washington Ave Bible Church in Ephrata. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice and Community Care, PO Box 4125, Lancaster, PA 17552, would be greatly appreciated.
