Obituary of John R Debesis

Devoted father, loving husband, and physicist passed away peacefully after a long illness at the age of 80.  John is survived by his wife, Margaret, sister Rita, two sons, Chris (Kathleen) and William (Alyssa), and his grandchildren, Sarah, Ryan, and Abigail. John supported his family with a career in optics working at Xerox and Eastman Kodak, enjoyed fishing and golfing, was a member of the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship, and was a volunteer math tutor. 

He will be remembered for his ability to listen with intrigue, his witty sense of humor, and belly laughs.  A Memorial Service will be held April 20th at 11:00 AM at Blessed Hope Community Church, 1280 Creek Street, Webster, NY.  In lieu of flowers donations can be provided to the Blessed Hope Community Church.
