Found peace on May 3, 2020, at the age of 70. Loving dad of Ryan (Laura) Gmach, Barbara Gmach, and proud grandpa to Evan Gmach.  Survived by his sister, Mary (Mike) Neal and brother Gary (Cheryl) Gmach and many other relatives and friends.

A special thanks to Connie Orth who was his caregiver over the past 4 years as well as his friend.

Laura, Ashlee, Allison, and Lala Ortiz, Laura Ann Weissgerber-Gmach, thank you for being there and helping to pick up the pieces at our family’s time of need.

A private graveside ceremony will be held at Pinelawn Memorial Park at a further time TBD.  Please check back or we will reach out with details.

Dad, you are rejoined with your parents (Auggie & Hertha), sister (Linda), and best friend, (Otto). There is one amazing cribbage game going on in the heavens.

We love you and will miss you!

John, we were friends for over 56 years. The memories are many and I will continue to relive them as time goes on. I miss our conversations, and our political discussions. I know the last six years were certainly not what you would have ever wanted, but I was always amazed at how you handled those health issues. You will be missed by many, including me. Rest in peace, my friend, rest in peace.......
