John Moini

John Moini, 88, of Cresskill NJ, died peacefully on the morning of September 13th, 2025. John was born in 1936 in Bronx, New York to Salvatore and Jean Moini, the second of six children. After early schooling in New York, and moving to Hudson County, New Jersey, John joined the Army in 1953. He initially remained state-side, sent to Washington state, and then he was deployed to Germany and served there as a Supply Sergeant for almost two years before his discharge. After his time in the Army, he worked as a machinist at New Jersey Machine in Hoboken. He married his wife Georgia in 1959, and they moved to Cresskill in 1968, shortly after their son James was born. At this point, he had become an insulator and worked for Local 12 out of New York City. He traveled all over the city to different jobs, and by the mid 1970s, he had to travel out of state to work due to the lack of local jobs. Along with his late brother Salvatore, he traveled to Illinois, West Virginia, and Ontario Canada to be able to work to support his family. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, he took his wife Georgia and son James on several country-wide driving trips, taking time to see the sights and experience the open road. He continued working as an insulator until his retirement in the late 1990s. After his retirement, he focused on his woodworking hobby and spent time with his (then young) grandchildren. Accompanied by his wife Georgia, he also continued vacationing, taking several more trips and even driving from New Jersey to Alaska – a trip which, unbelievably, they were able to make three times. Later he tended to stay closer to home, but he was always active and always “puttering in his woodshop” and working around the house until he became unable to do so. He entered a nursing home in July 2025, where he lived until his death. While in the nursing home, he celebrated his 66th wedding anniversary with his wife Georgia. John is survived by his wife Georgia, son James and daughter-in-law Monica, and their children, Alex and Ryan. He also leaves behind three siblings, Sally, Lawrence, and James, and multiple nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers Joseph and Salvatore. John was an amazing brother, husband, father, and grandfather, and we will all miss him terribly. Please keep him in your thoughts.
