On April 1, 2020, John Warren Hawken, loving husband and father of two, passed away at the
age of 74.

Born in June of 1945 to Evelyn and Fred Hawken, John was raised in Hillsdale, New Jersey with
his two younger brothers, Robert and Ted. Marrying Mari in 1968 and starting a family with two
children, Donna and Brian, they resided in Ringwood, NJ for over 15 years before moving to
Wanaque, NJ where he remained for over 30 years until he passed.

A loving Husband, Father, Grandfather and Uncle, John had a storied career in the construction
industry. He spent over 40 years with Sloan Acoustics (later Sloan and Company), retiring as
the Vice President of Production. Of note was his membership in the North East Carpenters
Union for over 55 years.

To say that Family was important to John would be an understatement, bragging about
accomplishments of each relative as if they were all his first born child. As well, if you were a
friend of John's, to him that meant you were his Family. Be it coaching ice hockey (John and
his friends were integral in starting the Ringwood Hawk's ice hockey team in the early 1980's),
fishing in the surf or playing golf, John always had his family and close friends with him.
Preceded in death by his father Fred, John is survived by his mother Evelyn, his wife Mari,
daughter Donna (Keith), son Brian (Erin), brothers' Robert and Ted, four Grandchildren, and
twelve nieces and nephews.

An event in memoriam of his journey will be scheduled at a later date.
