John T. Lesniewski, formerly of Levittown and recently of Neshaminy Manor, passed away on June 30, 2013 at Doylestown Hospital. He was 95.

Born in Erie, PA, he was the son of the late Stanislaus and Marcelena Dermanowski Lesniewski, and brother to the late Frank Lesniewski.
He will be lovingly missed by his best friend and companion of 32 years, Jean Stryjewski of Buckingham.

John lived in Philadelphia until 1941, and then moved to Levittown. John was employed as an engineer at the Naval Air Development Center, Warminster, until his retirement in 1973.

John was a world traveler, and by hard work and luck was able to circle the globe four times. One of his most memorable moments of his travels was meeting Pope John Paul II. John was an excellent pilot, and often rented a plane to fly out of the Levittown Airport.
