John “Buddy” Quinones, 57, of Bayonne, formerly of Hoboken, passed away on August 1, 2020.
Born to Elizabeth Galarza and Jose Elias Quinones on January 25, 1963, John was a Hoboken native for many years and was well known in the community. He was a dedicated worker in caring for his family and in his role as a forklift operator for 30 years at the Stahl Soap Company in Hoboken.
