John Badagliacca Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

New York, New York

Mr. Fix-It
Not that many people get to be somebody's soul mate. John J. Badagliacca truly did, says his wife. It began when they were 10 and she fell over his bicycle in their Staten Island schoolyard. They became friends that day and were married in 1992.

O.K., they did break up a few times. Sort of. Mr. Badagliacca wanted to date others when he took a share in a summer house and when he got his first car. "All the convenient times," Nancy Badagliacca said with a laugh. "But we had all the same friends, were always together. We were perfect for each other. The first kiss was his, the first everything."

They enjoyed the same things, especially spending time with their children, Nikki, 6, and John, 4, at their summer home. Mr. Badagliacca, 35, a bond salesman with Cantor Fitzgerald, rebuilt that old house in Brick, N.J., from the beams out with his brother-in-law.

He kept their house in Staten Island in good shape, too.

"He was soooo organized," Mrs. Badagliacca recalled. "If a bulb went out he would have to change it in the next minute. If my cabinets got messy, he would reorganize them. It would drive me nuts! And his tools -- you can't touch his tools."

He was so handy that she would tell him he could change professions. "I'd say, 'You could do just that.'" She paused. "I wish he did."

Every morning at work I would call John to buy govt. bonds from him at Cantor. Each call would start the same way: Good Morning, Bo. /Hey Deb, Good Morning Sunshine. Then we would barter over basis points on bonds. We would laugh about our job, coworkers, kids. We were coworkers and friends. It was the best way to start the day. You are truly missed and in my prayers always. Rest easy and watch over your loved ones.#neverforget

John you are never forgotten. Your smile lives on in my heart and I hope I could be just a little bit of the amazing you were. Whatever I am and whatever I try to do is done in your image. You are loved and missed always.

Our Dearest Handsome John. We think of you every day of every week of every year. It has never and will never get any easier to accept that you are gone. Lisa and I were speaking the other day about you and the only thing that can take a little of the pain away if that is knowing that we will all be together again someday. Please kiss Mom for us. Have a laugh together. We are heartntoken but trying our best to keep on going.
