John C. Stamey

February 18, 1951 - March 20, 2022

John Charles Stamey, 71, of Syracuse, passed away on March 20, 2022 after a brief illness. John was a graduate of Nottingham High School in 1968 and attended a University in Boston where he lived for several years before returning to Syracuse in the early 1980’s. In Boston he was the manager of Strawberry Records and was a journalist and music critic for the North Shore Current, based in Newburyport, MA where he interviewed legendary performers including James Brown and Van Morrison. While in Boston he developed an unfortunate addiction to the Red Sox. Upon his return to Syracuse, he was employed for several years as a technician for GTech and Pitney-Bowes. In recent years he worked at Home Depot in East Syracuse. John was an avid reader, and his knowledge of music was encyclopedic. He enjoyed refurbishing audio equipment and antique lamps which he would often force on friends and family. He was predeceased by his parents, Virginia and Rudolph. He is survived by a daughter, Jessica Fure of Turlock, CA; a brother, Mark (Shari) of New York City, a brother, Robert (Paulette) of Syracuse and several nieces and nephews. A memorial gathering is scheduled for Monday March 28, 2022 from 10:30am to 11:30am at THOMAS J. PIRRO JR. FUNERAL HOME, 3401 Vickery Rd. (corner of Buckley Rd.) North Syracuse, NY, immediately followed by a private entombment at Assumption Cemetery.
