John A. Rehm

Born in Philadelphia to the late Paul E. and Rose Mary (Twohig) Rehm, John was raised in Philadelphia and moved to Levittown in 1976.

John graduated from Father Judge High School, Class of 1962. He served with the US Army in Vietnam as a Military Policeman. After the war, he met and married Theresa (Miller) and they started their love story. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary earlier this month. 

John was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, a silly songwriter, an amateur comedian, and a really bad golfer. Some of his favorite times were watching his grandchildren’s sports and activities, travelling with friends and family, and watching football on Sundays. He was a loyal Eagles fan. His biggest wish finally came true when the Eagles won the Super Bowl. John was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother who made family his top priority. People say he was larger than life. His outgoing and funny nature made it easy for him to make friends everywhere he went.

John was a hardworking man, who spent the last 17 years of his accounting career at Liberty Industrial Gas in Brooklyn, NY. After retiring, he worked as a part time security guard for Pennsbury School District, where he enjoyed getting to know the students he cared for.

He is survived by his loving wife Theresa (Terri), daughters Carolyn (Fred) Erdelji, Judy (Sam) Jamison, and Debbie (Don) Massari. He was a loving Pop-Pop to his grandchildren Elizabeth, Sarah, Ethan, Sydney, Jules, and Maddie.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother Paul and sister Julia (Judy) Rush. He is survived by his brother George (Kathy) Rehm, and sisters Rosemary (James Doyle) Rehm and Paula Sykes. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

John will be laid to rest at Washington Crossing National Cemetery. Services and interment will be held at a later date.
