John Joseph Interval

It is with profound sadness and much love that the family of John Joseph Interval, of Lawrence, announce his unexpected passing on June 22, 2022, at the age of 63 years. He was a bright spark in this world and will be deeply missed by many. He was born April 22, 1959, in Washington, the son of the late Anthony and Mary Spalla Interval. John graduated from Immaculate Conception High School and continued his education, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from California University of Pennsylvania. He was self-employed as a Professional Petroleum Geologist. John was known for being incredibly passionate about his work in the oil & gas industry. He was a giving, caring and selfless soul. He made close friends throughout his successful career and earned the respect of so many of his peers. He was an avid golfer, collector of sports memorabilia, enjoyed watching Pittsburgh Steelers games, and loved his cat “Blizzard”. John was a very talented musician who wrote and performed his own songs for over forty-five years. He and his band, “Pass The Word”, have entertained many over the years with the gift of their music. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, brother, and uncle. In 1999, John met the love of his life and best friend, Amy Clover, in Clarion on a blind date, who survives. They wed in Myrtle Beach after a round of golf on May 22, 2001. He was incredibly in love with Amy and was so proud to purchase their dream home last year as their love story continued. Although he and Amy only lived in their new neighborhood for a year, they formed close friendships and shared many Friday night dinners together with their special neighbors. Also left to cherish his memory are his son, John Interval II and wife Kerri, of Washington; his brother, Anthony Interval, of Lawrence; his grandchildren, Lily, Grayson, Eliza, and Jake; his great-granddaughter, Mckinley; his brother-in-law, Dan Clover; four nieces; one nephew; and one great-niece. He also leaves behind many other family members and friends who loved him dearly. He will be forever in their hearts and missed very much every day. There will be a joyful Celebration of John’s Life on Friday, July 8th at 11:00 am to honor him. This celebration will be at the William G. Neal Funeral Homes, Ltd., 925 Allison Ave, Washington. A luncheon will follow at Julian’s Banquet Hall, 78 W Maiden St, Washington. His friends and family are invited to share happy memories and celebrate John’s life in the way he would want to be remembered-as a loving and caring man who enjoyed life.
