John Sinak, 97, Fort Wayne, passed away on March 25, 2018, at Peabody Health Care in North Manchester.
He was born Jan. 1, 1921, in Newark, N.J. He was the founder and owner of Sinak Builders in New Jersey, where he built luxury homes with his son, Jack Sinak, in the Scotch Plains, N.J. area.
Sinak and his first wife, Dorothy, had two children: son Jack (TR) Sinak and daughter Pamela (Dan) Kotovsky.
Sinak married his second wife, Joane, and they lived in Florida for many years. The Sinak’s moved to Fort Wayne, where they spent the last twelve years sharing time and memories with his family. He was blessed with three grandchildren, Kenny (Kendra) Sinak, Kelly (Paul) Dellagrotte and Katie Kotovsky, and often boasted of their lives. Sinak is survived by many cousins and family in New Jersey.
In addition to being an entrepreneur, he was abundantly proud of his service in World War II. He was trained as a soldier in the 10th mountain division and served in the mountains of Italy. Highlighting his service, he was proud to be selected to participate in the Northeast Indiana Honor Flight. The trip afforded him the opportunity to visit the war memorials in Washington DC.
Services will be held at noon, Saturday, March 31, at Covington Memorial Gardens in Fort Wayne with Military Honors.
A meal will follow at the Sinak residence.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Northeast Indiana Honor Flight.
