John Joseph Simpson Sr

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of John Joseph Simpson Sr., a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. John departed this world on April 1, 2026, at the age of 66, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering dedication to his family and community. Born on August 27, 1959, in the bustling city of Boston, Massachusetts, John was the cherished son of the late Albert Leroy Simpson and Florence Elaine Simpson. He grew up surrounded by the warmth of his large family, which included his siblings Rose, Linda, Ruth, Albert, Florence, David, and Jane, who have all predeceased him. Despite the losses he endured, John found strength in the enduring bonds with his surviving siblings, Patricia, Roberta, and James. John's life was a testament to the power of dedication and resilience. He spent many years working for city water maintenance, where he was known for his tireless work ethic and commitment to ensuring the well-being of his community. His colleagues remember him not only as a diligent worker but as a man who was always ready with a smile and a kind word. At the heart of John's life was his family, whom he loved fiercely and unconditionally. He was a devoted husband to Marjorie, his faithful partner and confidante, whose love sustained him through the joys and challenges of life. Together, they raised two wonderful sons, John Simpson Jr., who predeceased him, and Matthew Simpson, who carries forward his father's legacy of kindness and integrity. John's pride and joy were his grandchildren, Mason and Madison, whose laughter and innocence filled his days with happiness and hope. John was a man of simple pleasures who found great joy in the company of his loyal dogs, Rocky and Jack. He was always happy, bringing fun and laughter to those around him. His home was a haven of warmth and hospitality, where friends and family gathered to create cherished memories. Although John's physical presence has left us, his spirit remains in the hearts of all who knew him. His laughter, kindness, and unwavering love for his family will be remembered and cherished forever. In honor of John's life, the family will be making memorial plans for a later date. In lieu of flowers, they invite those wishing to honor John's memory to consider donations to a cause that was meaningful to him. Details will be shared at a later time. As we bid farewell to John Joseph Simpson Sr., we celebrate a life well-lived and a man deeply loved. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy of love and laughter will endure in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him. Rest in peace, dear John. You will be profoundly missed but never forgotten.
