John P. Schwartz

John P. Schwartz was a loving, funny man who loved to sing the Cattle Call, enjoyed his Blue Grass music, and enjoy time back in the day when he and his wife Audrey would spend time at their cottage in Point Lookout, Maryland. They are many great memories and laughs they had with their many nieces and nephews at that time.

John as so many called “Uncle Phil” served in the United States Army, 107th Airborne and was Honorably discharged in 1962. After that he became a Glazier in Local 368 in Maryland. Uncle Phil did a lot of the Glass work in buildings in DC such as the Embassy’s and his favorite the National Zoo, where one day he actually pet the paw of one the first Pandas. He loved animals, kids, pitching horseshoes and growing his famous tomato garden.

His wife Audrey Louise Schwartz who he was married to for over 50 years predeceased him in death as well as his parents, Cleveland Boyd Schwartz Sr, Ruth Buxton Dowden Schwartz, and he was the last of living of his 9 siblings who also predeceased in death: Cleveland Boyd Schwartz, Jr., Kathryn Abbott, Annabel Riley, Helen Rose, Elizabeth McClure, Margaret Schwartz, James P Schwartz, Sr., Harold C. Schwartz, Sr., and Joseph Schwartz. He is survived by two sisters-in-law’s Dorothy Thomson and Nancy Schwartz, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and great-great nieces and nephews who will miss dearly.
