John Patrick Gaughan, 68, of Wallingford, PA passed away on Monday, April 17th. He was born in New York City and raised and educated in Trenton, New Jersey. John was a graduate of St. Anthony High School in Trenton. He then went on to graduate from Allentown College of St. Francis De Sales and proudly earned an MBA from Iona University. John worked in many industries and eventually was self-employed as a quality control auditor. He simultaneously had a 40-year career in real estate.
