John L. “Jack” Rhoades Jr. of Newtown, PA died on Saturday, February 28, 2015, at St. Mary Medical Center, Langhorne, PA. He was 73.

He was the beloved husband of April Grosso Rhoades for 37 years.

Born in Trenton, NJ, he was the son of the late John L. Sr. and Helen Walton Rhoades.

Mr. Rhoades was a resident of Richboro for 37 years before moving to Newtown in June 2014. He was employed as a collection supervisor for Public Service Electric and Gas in New Jersey for 37 years before his retirement in 1997.

In his leisure time, Jack enjoyed dabbling in the stock market and always liked taking a chance at the horse races. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Being family oriented, he especially enjoyed the times spent with his family. His two grandsons went to visit him this past week and just the sight of them brought a beaming smile to his face and made him laugh. He will be sadly missed as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle.

In addition to his beloved wife, he is survived by his daughter, Kristi S. DeCarlo and her husband, Kevin, of Newtown, PA and his sister, Dorothy Rittenberry and her husband, Kevin, of Allentown, New Jersey. He was the loving Pop Pop of Logan G. and Carter R. DeCarlo and special uncle to Isabelle Rittenberry of Allentown, NJ.
