John Mastrull, 75, of Piscataway passed away on Friday, December 23, 2022, at CareOne at Somerset Valley in Bridgewater, NJ.
Born in Brooklyn, NY to the late Michael and Marie Mastrull, the family moved to Hazelton, PA where John spent his early years growing up. The Mastrull family then moved back to Brooklyn where John attended High School and the New York Institution of Technology, where he achieved his Bachelor's Degree.
Following his graduation from NYIT, he began working at Lockheed Electronics in Plainfield; it was here he met his future wife, Diane Lisco. In 1976, John was transferred to San Jose to work in the Missile and Space Division. It was also in this year that John and Diane were married. The two moved to California, and John began working towards his Master's Degree, which he earned from the University of Southern California. John and Diane started their family here, before moving back to the East Coast in 1982, settling in Piscataway.
After 22 years, John left Lockheed Electronics as the Director of Operations and began working at New Brunswick Scientifics in Edison, again as the Director of Operations. After a final move, he continued his career at Fedcap in New York City, retiring at 71 years old, as the Director of Operations.
