Sean “John” F. Coary, 73, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 5, 2020 at his home in Red Hill. He was the loving husband of Dorothy “Dottie” (Moors) Coary, sharing 46 years of marriage together.
Born in Belfast, Ireland, he was the son of the late Bernard and Anne (Powers) Coary.

Sean was a member of St. Philip Neri R.C. Church in Pennsburg and enjoyed golfing, working on his lawn and following the stock market. However, his greatest love was for his family; especially his three grandchildren.
