Harold F. St. John, Jr.

92, of Cranston, passed away on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of 67 years to Alice (Joseph) St. John.

He volunteered at the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry for about ten years until the onset of his Alzheimer’s began . And, although he had this disease he enjoyed watching The Mass on TV --was able to recite and bless himself. He will be remembered for being a kind giving man, until the end his sense of humor was a gift just like him.
