He was married to Eileen Mae (nee Denelsbeck) Romansky for 68 years before she predeceased him in 2016.

John loved baseball and spent many years as a coach in both Little League and Babe Ruth baseball. He also played softball in a recreational league. He loved the outdoors and spent a lot of time camping with his family and, later, with the Pennsville Skeeters Camping Club.
