John Justin Kirwin

Kirwin, John Justin, died peacefully at home on July 25, 2007, at the age of 91. He lived a long and happy life filled with family and friends. John was forever devoted to his surviving wife of 68 years, Camille. He leaves behind his son, John, and John’s partner Ken; and his daughter, Barbara and her husband Charlie. He is also survived by his adoring grandchildren: Christi and her husband, Steven; Kerry and her husband, Tom; Charlie and his wife, Laura; and Justin and his wife Callie. John was talented athlete and graduate of Stuyvesant High School and Manhattan College. After 26 years of proud service, he retired as a Captain of the of the New York City Fire Department. A Certified Public Accountant, he was also a founding member of the Town of Southeast Independents and a member of the Southeast Industrial Development Agency. Throughout his life, John traveled the world with his loved ones. But when he was home, his house was always open to his loving extended family and dear friends. Storyteller, avid Yankee and Giant fan, master of poker and bridge, and gifted with a terrible singing voice, John was many things, but perhaps most important, he was our beloved family patriarch. A Memorial Mass will be scheduled in the near future. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to Hospice of Palm Beach County, 5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33407.
