Johndan Johnson-eilola Obituary, Death – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John W. Jordan Jr., a beloved resident of Stoneham, MA. At the age of 86, he departed this world on October 21, 2023, at his home, having battled end-stage liver disease with courage and grace.

John was born in Boston, MA, in 1936, the cherished son of Hazel and John W. Jordan Sr. He was also a beloved brother to his older sisters, Mary Finley and Rita Ritzau, who have all journeyed ahead of him to eternal rest. John’s early years were spent in the vibrant city of Cambridge, where he formed lifelong friendships that would shape his life in profound ways. Notably, he was instrumental in founding Lee A.C.

Initially a basketball team that evolved into a close-knit community of friends and families. Over seven decades, this group continued to share cherished moments, and John took pride in organizing the Saturday Night Supper Club, a tradition that endured until 2023. John was a proud alumnus of Cambridge High and Latin, graduating in 1955. His professional journey began at UBS Electrical Co., where he worked for three years and encountered the love of his life.

It was during this time that he crossed paths with Helen Donovan, who would become his beloved wife. His commitment to education led him to Boston State College (now UMass Boston), where he pursued a Bachelor of Science degree, a significant milestone achieved in 1962. John’s passion for teaching was evident in his five-year tenure as a public school teacher in Cambridge, a role he cherished and often regarded as one of his favorite chapters of his career.

It was during this period, in 1963, that he married the love of his life, Helen Donovan, a union that would stand as a testament to their enduring love. In his pursuit of knowledge and commitment to education, John returned to Boston State, earning his Master of Science degree in Education in 1965. His dedication to lifelong learning and teaching left an indelible mark on all those he encountered, both in the classroom and in his community.

As we gather to honor John W. Jordan Jr.’s life and legacy, we remember his unwavering love for his family, his lifelong friendships, and his passion for education. His memory will forever be etched in our hearts, a tribute to a life well-lived and a legacy of love and dedication that will continue to inspire us all. May he rest in peace, his spirit living on in the hearts of those who were privileged to know and love him.
