John J.

Karpinski

-

John J. Karpinski, age 74, of Amagansett and Long Beach, Mississippi, passed

away at home in his sleep on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024. He grew up in

Ridgefield, New Jersey and would come to spend his weekends, summers, and

vacations at his Aunt and Uncle's house in Amagansett. After high school, he

would go on to serve in the Army, and become a proud member of the VFW. He

was then a truck driver for Faberge, where many deliveries ended on Fridays at

White's in Montauk. After graduating from Saint Thomas Aquinas College with a

degree in Business, John went on to be a manager for Faber Cement and upon their

closing, he finally settled at Bayway Oil Refinery as a Shift Operations Supervisor.

And yes-it was fun for his kids to say "Dad is like Homer Simpson." John was a

lover of fishing, music, racing, and anything to do with a beach and water.

John was preceded in death by his wife, Suzanne R. Karpinski (née Madzelan). He

is survived by his wife, Kathy L. Gable. He is survived by his children, Melissa

Markowitch and her husband David, Michelle and her fiance Jordan Villa, Joseph

and his wife Mary; and his five beautiful grandchildren.

John will be laid to rest at Calverton National Cemetery, joining his parents and

other family members.
