John F. Pasulka, 86, of Aurora, IL passed away Friday, March 28, 2025 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born October 5, 1938 in St. Louis, MO., the son of Marie and Nicholas Pasulka.
John, the eldest child in a family of thirteen siblings, learned his family values and strong work ethic from his parents. After meeting at DePaul University, he and his wife GiGi raised their three children in Aurora, and he eventually ran his own business. In his leisure time, John loved outdoor activities such as gardening, swimming, fishing with his friends, and even took up SCUBA diving in his sixties. Along the way, he became a friend of Bill W. His four grandchildren were his greatest joy, and his family will miss him every day.
