John Venturini

Fond du Lac - John F. Venturini, 70, went to his heavenly home on Thursday, July 12, 2018 at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee after a short battle with cancer. He was born in Houghton, Michigan on July 2, 1948, the son of Pasquale "Chee Chee" and Margaret (nee Branstrom) Venturini. On August 24, 1968, John married the love of his life, Jeanne Treiber, at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Campbellsport. He and Jeanne settled in North Fond du Lac for most of their married life. John was a graduate of Campbellsport High School and University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

At 8 years old John started delivering the Milwaukee Journal in Campbellsport and was never without a job, developing a great work habit. John began employment at the Stretch Truck Stop in college and continued to work there and with O'Connor Oil Corporation, eventually becoming one of the owners. He had a great passion for baseball and softball, playing for a number of different teams. He found great joy in coaching Little League and later the North Fond du Lac High School baseball team. John was a dedicated fan of the Detroit Lions and the Milwaukee Brewers. He enjoyed travelling with Jeanne and also enjoyed the "baseball" trips he took with his brothers and son.

John's real love and greatest joy was his family; spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, brothers and many friends! He had the keen insight to see what others needed to "fulfill" something in them! We hope he knew how precious he was to all of us!

Survivors include his wife of nearly 50 years, Jeanne; son Nick (Rachel) of Las Vegas, NV, daughter, Karen (Mike) Seifert of Pewaukee, grandchildren Giana Jane and Bella Joy Venturini and Jonathan Michael, Lauren Grace and Jacob Jay Seifert, brothers; Eugene (Marian) of Campbellsport, Patrick (Brenda) of Beloit, Michael (Lori) of Jonesville, MI, and Peter (Kandace) of Beloit; sister-in-law Julie Treiber of Fond du Lac, many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. John was preceded in death by his parents and his in-laws Melvin and Irene "Rene" Treiber.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held Tuesday, July 17th at 6:00 PM at St. Matthew's Catholic Church, 406 E. Main Street, Campbellsport, Rev. Mark Jones will officiate. A private family entombment will be Wednesday at Calvary Cemetery, Fond du Lac.

Visitation will be Tuesday, July 17th from 2:00 PM until 6:00 PM at St. Matthew's. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to North Fond du Lac Baseball or the charity of your choice.

My condolences to the Venturini family. I met and worked with John at the Stretch Truck Stop in 1970-71. I remember his laughter and the pleasure it was working with him. He sure loved that green Chevy Camaro SS. God Speed my friend.

Thinking of you Jeanne, Karen, Mike, Jonathan, Lauren, Nick, Rachel and family. We will miss Vinny so much. He was so gracious, sincere and fun to be around. So easy to talk to and such a loving dad and grandpa. I know he was deeply loved by you all and can only imagine how much you must miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Big, virtual hugs to you.

Our deepest sympathy to the Venturini family. I always remember John with a smile on his face and a funny story to tell. Between the Johnson/McNamara stories, there was always laughter when John was in the room. The McNamaras will always have fond and funny memories of him with his soft heart and true sense of humor and compassion. Our prayers are with you and may warm memories always comfort you.

We were saddened by the news of the passing of Coach Venturini. John was an extraordinary supporter of the North Fondy baseball program during and after his tenure as a coach. Both the program and the athletes he touched are the better for his presence, his knowledge of baseball and his abilities to teach young people. We are all diminished by his departure.

Our heartfelt condolences are extended to Jeanne, Karen and Nick on his passing.

We were saddened by the news of the passing of Coach Veniurini and our heartfelt condolences are extended to Jeanne, Karen and Nick. John was an extraordinary supporter and coach of the North Fondy Baseball program during and after his tenure as an active coach. Both the program and the athletes he touched are very much the better for his presence, his knowledge of baseball and his ability to teach young people. We are all diminished by his passing and he will be sorely missed.

My sincere sympathy to the Treiber and Venturini families. Although the Venturini's moved when I was in grade school, I have very fond memories of the family, especially Mike, who was in my class at St Matt's. My thoughts are with you all.
