John D. Cogan
September 2, 1934 — March 6, 2021
John D. Cogan
John "Jack" Cogan, 86, a resident of Falmouth, Massachusetts, formerly of Middleboro, MA and Stoughton, MA and a seasonal resident of North Fort Myers, Florida for more than 25 years, passed in peace unexpectedly on March 6, 2021 in Ft. Myers, Florida.
Jack was born September 2, 1934 in Boston, MA to the late Joseph and Anne Cogan. He was an unmatched Mack mechanic who went on to truck for over 57 years. Jack was a graduate of Boston Trade School and a Veteran of the United States Army. He was a huge Boston sports fan, and an avid race car enthusiast who proudly was a pit-crew member for Indy Race Car Series driver Bentley Warren.
Jack was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 52 years, Christine "Tena" Cogan. He is survived by his children, Cheryl Heath and her husband Donald of Whitman, MA, John Cogan and his wife Sandy of Middleboro, MA, Paul Cogan and his wife Cheryl of Bridgewater, MA and Christopher Cogan and his wife Kathy of Middleboro, MA. He was the loving and devoted "Papa" of Keith and his wife Abigail, Kimberlee, Steven, Jennifer, Kailyn, Christopher, Nicollette and a soon to be great-grandfather. If you asked Jack what his greatest accomplishment was, he would tell you it was being a grandfather. He was the brother to Joseph Cogan and his wife Josephine, and the brother to Mary and the late William Cataldo. He is further survived by his loving companion, Janet Anastasio of nine years in which they shared numerous travel adventures and wonderful memories.
Jack was a combination of someone who loved life and had a firm understanding of what was most important – the simplicity of living life surrounded by those you love. If you didn't know Jack, you could spot him by picking out the best dressed man in the room.
Jack will always be remembered as a very loved and important man. We wish to celebrate someone who never grew old; and whose smile was the most contagious. He had his loves & dreams and that together is what carried him along. He will be sadly missed by all to include his close friends he called his "snowbird family" at Old Bridge Village in North Fort Myers, Florida.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Immaculate Conception Church, Stoughton followed by interment at Evergreen Cemetery, Stoughton. Donations in Jack's memory may be made to the charity of your choice.
