AUBURN — John J. Carberry, 59, the loving husband of Maureen Greer Carberry, of Canoga Road, Auburn, died at home Sunday, Feb. 14, 2016 with his family at his side.

A consummate student, John continued to attain many hours of continuous education, certification, and general knowledge in his field. John was a proud member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, JFK Div. 1, having received his Major Degree in 1984. He enjoyed volleyball leagues at the YMCA and playing city league softball for the Ancient Order of Hibernians and later Curley’s Restaurant.
