John Joseph Mitos

John Joseph Mitos of Morrisville, PA, known to many as "Yosh", passed away at his home after a long courageous battle with cancer on Dec. 23, 2014, surrounded by his loving family.Born on Dec. 24, 1946 in Trenton, NJ, John attended Holy Trinity School and graduated from Bishop Egan High School, class of 1964. He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force, in active duty from 1967-1971, as an Air Traffic Controller stationed in Ramstein, Germany. He was employed as a machinist, and retired from C.V. Hill Refrigeration in Trenton. He also worked for Prudential Insurance in Willow Grove, PA. John loved all sports, played golf, and was a true Phillies and Flyers fan, ensuring he took the family to a game or two every season. His kids and grandkids truly meant the world to him. He was a member of the Morrisville American Legion, as well as the Fairless Hills Elks Lodge, where he held the position of Inner Guard.

Mitos, his daughter and son-in-law Heather and Brian Romanek, and his adoring grandchildren Kayla, Leada, Bryson, and Sophia Romanek, all of Morrisville.
