Obituary of John Andrew Klemunes

John Klemunes, age 78 of Hunlock Creek, passed away Saturday, June 12, 2021 at home, surrounded by his loving family and friends. He was born in Kingston on November 26,1942 and was the son of the late John and Anna Gaydosh Klemunes. After High School, John served in the Army for 3 years and retired from Tobyhanna Army Depot after 30 plus years of employment. He loved the outdoors, either working around the yard or sitting in his chair on his patio. He was a country boy at heart. Although he was a man of few words, he was always listening and providing insight at the proper moment, no matter what the topic was, from finance to how to grow the best tomatoes. He was project manager for household and vehicle projects, extremely handy with a knack to fix anything, and the pack mule on family vacations. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brother, Stephen. John is survived by his wife, the former Patricia Vikara; sons, John and Paul Klemunes; grandchildren, John Patrick, Jack and Max; and siblings, Ray, Julie Ann, Theresa, Marie, Anna, Joe, Cathy, and Tony.
