John E. Jordan, a native of Saratoga Springs and a long-time resident of Porter Corners, passed away Wednesday August 6, 2025, at his residence in West Milford, NJ. He was 95.

John was a lifelong resident of Saratoga County where he could often be found on the baseball fields. Growing up he was a talented catcher, and this passion stayed with him throughout his life where he managed, coached but mostly umpired. He loved the New York Yankees and seldom missed a game. His love for sports also extended to collecting sport books and autographs.

John was a retired Navy veteran. After his distinguished military service, he became a Bank Officer at The Adirondack Trust Company.

John also immensely enjoyed traveling, plus watching westerns. He loved spending time with his family, especially sharing stories of playing baseball, his navy career, and his travels to all 50 states and numerous worldwide locations, with his grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, John was predeceased by his beloved wife and travel companion of 52 years, Millicent "Millie" J. Rowland Jordan.

Survivors include two sons, Deron (Karin) Jordan of West Milford, NJ and Dean (Melissa) Jordan of Virginia; one daughter, Sonya (Michael Vukovinsky) Jordan of Chester, CT; 8 grandchildren, Vanessa Springer, Sophia, Allison and Dean J. Jordan, Austin and Brett Anderson, Rachael and James Vukovinsky; and several nieces and nephews.
