John F. Igo, 78, of Cornwall on Hudson, NY, died on December 4, 2014 at Elant @ Newburgh, after an illness.
John was born on November 25, 1936 to the late John and Anne (Fallon) Igo in Boston, Massachusetts. He spent his childhood in the Roslindale section of Boston. He was a graduate of Boston College High School and Boston College. He later received his Master’s Degree from Calvin Coolidge College.
Teaching was his passion and he devoted over 45 years to the profession. He taught in Massachusetts, California, the Far East, at New York Military Academy and ended his career at Marlboro (NY) High School. After retirement in 2000, he continued to work at Marlboro in many capacities including the camera club, chief photographer for student events and sharing his patriotism with the students. This past June, he was honored at the Senior Awards banquet for his service to the district.
John proudly served his country in the US Army and retired from the US Coast Guard Reserves. He was an active member in the local branch #229 of the Fleet Reserve Association. He ran the annual Memorial Day Tea, Veterans Day program and the Pearl Harbor Ceremony at Marlboro High School.
In 1964, John married Margaret (Peg) Cullen. She predeceased him on May 21, 2014. Together they lived in Japan, the Philippines, California, New York, Vermont and Massachusetts.
John’s true joy in life was finding a bargain. He loved picking out “treasures” that he would share with family and friends. His quick wit was admired by others and he never left home without a camera.
John is survived by his children, Ellen and Michael; his brother in law Tom Cullen and his wife Miriam; his sister in law Sonia Cullen, as well as nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by the love of his life, Peg; his brother in law Jim Cullen and sister in law, Maureen Cullen.
