John Henry Anthony Monderewicz

John H. Monderewicz, 93, of West Lawn, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 16, 2019, at Reading Hospital, with his constant companion, his son "Kid" Monderewicz, by his side. Born in Reading, John was a son of the late Leon D. and Eleanor (Freelman) Monderewicz.

John served our nation proudly and valiantly in the US Army during World War II, predominantly in Central Europe with the 325th Glider Infantry, 82nd Airborne Division. He was the consummate perfectionist, who loved good craft beer, beautiful women, and everything about motorcycles, but especially riding with his son. He had a green thumb in the garden, and was always with his faithful buddy Dakota, the best dog on the planet.

John also loved people, and found a good time no matter where he was or who he was with. He was a member of the Womelsdorf VFW for over 60 years, the Hard Luck Sunnyside Motorcycle Club for 39 years, the Newmanstown Athletic Association, and the West Lawn Quoting Club. A machinist by trade, he worked for Textile Machine Works/Rockwell International for 46 years.

He and Kid were more like brothers and best friends, even building motorcycles together. He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him. In addition to Kid, John is survived by a sister, Julie, France.

He was predeceased by his six brothers and sisters: Wallace, Frank, Stanley, and Tony Monderewicz, Eleanor Rissmiller, and Josie Singer; and his grandson, Harley K.J. Monderewicz.

A celebration of John's life will be held Friday, August 23, 2019 at 11:30am at the Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home, Inc., 739 Penn Avenue, West Reading. Burial with full military honors will follow at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, Annville. A public viewing will be held from 10:00-11:30am at the funeral home. Casual attire is acceptable.
