I am so very sorry for your loss. Johnny was a great man. He gave me my first job ten years ago at his bakery. He was like a grandfather to me. I appreciate everything he has done for me. I wish I had known sooner that he had passed. I feel terrible that I missed his funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

Condolences to the Family.

I knew John many years ago when the bakery was at 210 Concord Ave in Cambridge. Many times, Jane, Rico, John and I shared so many laughs.
I worked at the Cambridge location on Sundays a.m. to catch the Church crowd from St. Peters. on Concord Ave.

I went to visit them once at the bakery in Burlington. I want to guess but not positive that Rico (Americo) had passed but I did get to speak to Jane and John at least.

I go back many years to the fifties regarding these relationships, and I become saddened at times when I reflect back. However, great memory's.

To John Cenci, who showed my longivity and endurance playing softball side by side with me for years. He was our father figure on our team and because of him, gave me great memories. He was a wonderful gentle man. My heartfelt condolences goes out to his whole family.
