Stachnik was the recipient of the USTOA Honorary Life Member in 2012.
He passed away peacefully at home in Florida with his family by his side.
"It is truly a sad day for the travel industry. John was known and loved by so many people. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mary, their two children and grandchildren," said Terry Dale, USTOA president & CEO in an email.
