John T. "J.T." York, 87, passed away on December 30, 2019, at his home, surrounded by his family. He was born in Perry County on December 26, 1932, son of the late Alma "Bandy" and Iva (Thompson) York. Also preceding him in death were his twin siblings in infancy, William and Wilma; brother, Alvin York; daughter in law, Cindy McLain York and son in law, Patrick Ramsey. A U.S. Air Force veteran, J.T. was a member of American Legion Post #213. He retired in 1991 as a purchasing agent from the former Commonwealth Aluminum where he had been employed for over 25 years.

York; children, Steven York, Tell City, John York (Kathy), Ormond Beach, Florida, Sharon York ("Farmer"), Marilyn York, Pat York, all of Tell City and Jeff York (Bev), Troy; grandchildren, Jami York Hernandez (Will) and J.T.
