John Michael DeMatteo, 86 of Perth Amboy, NJ, passed away on Saturday November 26, 2022.

Mr. DeMatteo worked for the majority of his life and retired from Singer Co. as head of programming, followed by part time work as an accountant for Bellamo Oil Co. He had an honorable discharge from the National Guard in 1954, and from the Air Force in 1960.
