John J. Sartory, 80, a 30-year resident of Andover, MA and formerly of Oyster Bay, passed away Monday morning December 31, 2007 at the Holy Family Hospital in Methuen after an extended illness. John was born on June 10, 1927 in Brooklyn to the late Otto and Margaret (Stanton) Sartory. After graduating high school in January 1945 he proudly served in the U.S. Navy at the end of World War II, instilling a lifelong patriotism and love of country. Following discharge he continued his education at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute where he graduated with a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering and was a member of Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi. John was a devoted family man, especially proud of his seven grandsons. He was also devoted to his church and served for over 20 years as Eucharistic Minister at St. Augustine Church in Andover.
