John Patrick Falco, Sr., of Fort Washington, PA, passed away on Sunday, November 23, 2025 at the age of 52.
Born in Norristown and raised in Lansdale, John was a devoted husband to his wife Priscilla and a loving father to his three children, Ellie, Anna, and Jack.
John was the best dad. He loved his family more than anything and was present for nearly every soccer game, swim meet, and school event, cheering from the sidelines and supporting his children in every way. His devotion, encouragement, and unwavering presence shaped his children’s lives and filled his family’s home with love and laughter.
John was a graduate of Lansdale Catholic High School, Lasalle University, and Temple Law School. He became a well-respected lawyer in Philadelphia. He was admired for his knowledge of the law, but more than that, he was loved for the way he made everyone around him feel like family.
John will be remembered for his sharp mind, quiet strength, generous spirit, and boundless warmth. He enjoyed cheering on the Phillies and Eagles and had a passion for healthy debate, especially when arguing the other side. He pushed others to think more deeply while doing so with humor, insight, and good-natured charm. His faith grounded him, shaped his values, and guided the way he lived.
He is survived by his loving wife of 15 years, Priscilla (née Broomell); his daughters, Eleanor and Anna; and his son, John P. “Jack” Falco Jr. He is also survived by his parents, Joseph and Anne (née Farrow) Falco; his siblings: Joseph (Lisa), Theresa (Tony) Wydan, Charles (Susan), and James (Lauren); his in-laws: John and Wendy Broomell; and his brother-in-law: Jeb (Mia) Broomell.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend John’s Funeral Mass at 12:00 noon on Monday, December 1, 2025, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 1571 Temple Dr, Maple Glen, PA 19002. John’s viewing will be held in the Church Narthex, prior to Mass, from 10 AM to 11:45 AM.

Priscilla, please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Oh my ~ how terribly sad for everyone. Perhaps fond memories will be shared during this difficult time. Sincerest condolences to the family.
Priscilla and Family – I was so terribly sad to hear of John’s untimely passing. My late husband Greg held John in such high regard. Please know that I am holding you in my thoughts at this sad time. Sincerely, Denise Maggetti Nowak (Pepper connection)
Saying I’m sorry doesn’t nearly cover it. John was a great man and this obituary is spot on. He was first and foremost an unbelievable dad. He set a very high bar for the rest of us and was truly a lead by example type of guy. John and I were destined to stand on the soccer sidelines together. Both of us had limited soccer know-how but what we lacked in knowledge we attempted to overcome with spirit (with a little help from Giuseppe on the knowledge piece). I had the pleasure of remembering John in the hallways at LaSalle where we were both student athletes, even though he was a few years ahead of me. We ultimately landed in the same law school, albeit at different points in our lives, and if that wasn’t good enough we somehow went as far as naming our daughters Anna. We covered so many topics cheering on from the sidelines and it will never be the same without him. I referred to John as Mr. Falco or counselor and, although I did that jokingly, there was quite a bit of truth in my deference.
We had the honor of speaking to John in the back of the church on Sunday and, in true Mr. Falco fashion, he was so interested in what we had going on for the upcoming holidays. I can’t say I’m sorry enough to Priscilla and John’s beloved children. We’ll miss you terribly my friend and we will continue to cheer on the kids every chance we get.
Ray, Debbie, Anna and Raymond
I had the privilege of working with John for the last 13 years. He was brilliant, kind, and always generous with his time and knowledge. I first met him when he was an associate, and even when his partner moved firms, we chose to stay with him, because he was an extraordinary lawyer and an even more extraordinary human being.
The world truly lost a great soul. My heart aches for his family. They were truly blessed to have had him. May his memory be a blessing.
Priscilla, I am so sorry to hear of John’s passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
John was a true gentleman, family-man and fantastic neighbor. We are truly saddened by his passing. He will be missed.
We knew John through our son in law who was one of John’s best friends.A truly terrific guy with a great sense of humor. Our sincere condolences. Bill and Michelle Rueter.
