John J. Grimm III

John “Jack” Grimm of Sergeantsville, NJ, transitioned from this life to the next after a brief illness on Saturday morning, June 6, 2026.

Jack grew up in New Market, NJ, and graduated with the class of 1956 from Dunellen High School where he met Trudy Shanahan. The two would later marry on a Tuesday evening, May 29, 1962 before a standing room only crowd at the Dunellen Methodist Church.

After completing service in the Coast Guard, he spent the remainder of his working life as a police officer in Piscataway Township. He retired as Deputy Chief in 1996. Working with the PBA, he was Santa Claus to generations of local children.

Being a police officer did not define Jack.

He was a lifelong avid outdoorsman; hunting, fishing, camping, and enjoying being in nature. He was truly a “Jack of all trades,” a craftsman with interests in woodworking, metalworking, gardening, baking, and masonry, just to name a few. He was a fixer of all things and sought to solve problems with common sense. He found satisfaction in enjoying the simplest and smallest things in life that most people would pass by and miss. In their retirement, he and Trudy moved to Sergeantsville where they both continued honing their crafts and Jack invested in his community serving with the Sergeantsville Volunteer Fire Company.

Jack is predeceased by his wife Trudy, sister Nancy, and several lifelong friends who were considered family. He is survived by his daughter Tammie Marie of Indiana; his son James Walter and his wife Lorraine Grimm of Piscataway, NJ; two grandchildren, Sarah Ann and Luke Frederick; his sister-in-law Nancy Kendall and her husband, Paul of Virginia; and a wealth of cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM in the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street, Flemington, NJ 08822. Interment will follow in Bound Brook Cemetery, 500 Mountain Ave, Bound Brook, NJ 08805. A visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 from 4:00-7:00 PM in the funeral home.

Memorial contributions in John's name can be made to Hunterdon Hospice, 215 NJ-31, Flemington, NJ 08822 or Meals on Wheels, 5 Walter E. Foran Blvd. Suite 2006 Flemington, NJ 08822.

DID YOU KNOW? The funeral ceremony has long been a ritual in our society. In fact, funeral ceremonies have been traced back as far as 60,000 BC as a way of acknowledging that someone we love has died.

When you are planning to attend a virtual funeral, ensure to log in around 10 minutes early so the host has time to let you in, and like attending a funeral in person, do not leave early unless absolutely necessary.

John G. Stewart

John G. Stewart, age 70 years, of West Amwell Township, NJ, passed away on Thursday morning, June 4, 2026, at the Hunterdon Medical Center, Raritan Township, NJ. Born on January 1, 1956, in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of the late Samuel Stewart and Marilyn (Monfort) Stewart.

John was a 1974 graduate of Hunterdon Central Regional High School. He then ventured to San Rafael, California, where he was employed as a machinist. Some years later he returned to Hunterdon County, NJ to be closer to family.

He was a long-time employee for Mechanical Precision, Inc, in Flemington, NJ, eventually retiring in 2025.

His affiliations included the Croton Road & Gun Club, Croton, NJ as well as the American Legion Post 120, Lambertville, NJ, where he acted as SAL Commander.

John was an avid outdoorsman and fisherman; fishing was his passion. This included frequent trips to all of the local fishing holes, especially the Musconetcong River. He enjoyed fluke fishing, bass fishing, and especially trout fishing. In fact, he took pride in teaching all of his nephews how to fish by taking them out and buying their first rods, jackets, and licenses.

Furthermore, he was an avid San Francisco 49ers fan and San Francisco Giants fan, rooting for San Francisco greats, Joe Montana and Buster Posey. Finally, he could always be found mowing his lawn with his John Deere hat on and a Yuengling in his hand.

Moreover, John was an animal lover. Over the course of his life, he and his wife, Sue, had several Dachshunds and a Basset Hound.

John was friendly, easy-going and always enjoyed life. Dependable as they come, he was a friend to everybody, especially his family. He will be missed by all.

In addition to his parents, John was predeceased by his sister, Susan F. Strober Comerford, and his aunt, Joni Craig. He was also preceded in death by his canine companions, Tucker, Sophie, and Frankie.

Surviving are his beloved wife of 13 years, Susan (Bruno) Stewart, of West Amwell Township, NJ; his siblings and their spouses, Glenn and Cindy Stewart, of Manahawkin, NJ, Gordon and Shelly Stewart, of Washington, NJ; and Susan Scarborough, of Vineland, NJ. Additionally, he leaves behind many nephews, nieces, and cousins who will carry his memory forward. Finally, he leaves behind his "precious babies", Re*****on the Basset Hound and Tiny the Turtle.
