Obituary: John Charles Bemus, the father of former Massachusetts First Lady Diane Patrick, passed away quietly on afternoon in Brockton, Massachusetts after a long battle with cancer. He would have been 92 this week.

Bemus was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1923. He was one of four children in a tight knit family in the segregated south. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Bemus enlisted in the Navy, telling the recruitment office he was older than he was in order to qualify. At basic training north of Chicago, he was counseled by a staff officer to lie about his race so that he would not be consigned to duty in the galley and could learn a trade. He did so, serving aboard a minesweeper in the Northern Atlantic and becoming a master electrician. He was honorably discharged.

his discharge, Bemus settled in New York and went to work as an electrician in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. While there he met and later married the former Lilian Baker, a public school teacher and the elder daughter of state assemblyman Bertram L. Baker, the first black majority whip in the New York State Assembly. John and Lilian Bemus lived in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn where all three of their children were born, eventually moving to Hollis, a village in Queens, New York, where they raised their family and where Bemus lived independently until last year.

Bemus retired from the Ideal Toy in 1976 and started his own electrical contracting company. He turned that company over to his son in 1998, and retired from active professional life. His wife Lilian passed away in 2009 after a long struggle with Alzheimer's.

Bemus was a gifted storyteller, an accomplished singer, a resolute patriot, and a loving parent, grandparent and great grandparent. He leaves behind a sister, Vera Durant, 90, of Loma Linda, California; his son Jay Bemus of Long Island, New York and daughters Lynn Prime of Lilburn, Georgia and Diane Patrick of Milton, Massachusetts; 8 grandchildren; and 5 great grandchildren.

Memorial Service will be held at the funeral home on , 24, 2015 2pm to 3:30pm.
