Not sure what to say?

I heard the "Singing Baker" passed away. To the Family my sincere condolences. I hired John to surprise my dad at his home. It was a fun time. My Dad said, "don´t ever do that again". He loved it though. So a year later I had John come to the restaurant my Dad was at. So funny. John was a very outgoing and wonderful person in the little time we spent with him. Thank you John for the smiles you put on my Dad´s face. Wasn´t an easy task.

Rest in Peace ol friend, I'll remember the fun times racing around with the corvette, hanging out at the park ,a great guy and friend to many. My deepest condolences to the family, he will be missed...

To John's wife and family, On behalf of our family, we extend our sympathy in the loss of John. The connection between him and our Dad - Anthony Fallico - goes back to the heydays when Italian Bakeries were flourishing around Syracuse. There was always mutual respect as these proud Italians worked nearly 365 days a year - getting up before dawn to provide bread and pastries to their customers. When John decided to reopen Bella Bakery - we were thrilled that John reached out to get my Dad's...

So very sincerely sorry for your loss, let your memories of John be your strength during this time and know he is never truly gone, he´ll always be right beside you.

Tiffany, Sue, and family, I´m so sorry to hear about John´s passing. When I moved to Syracuse in 2003, you all made me feel like family. BBQs, late night poker games, pizza, baking tips (like extra oil, under bake for brownies), the man cave - all tremendous memories. He was a wonderful man, friend, husband, and father. I´m grateful to have known him, and each of you. Thinking about you and sending love. He will always be remembered fondly.

Met John during gymnastics, I was at Henninger but he became a friend to all my teamates, especially Bob B. and Mike L. Also frequented the bakery. Great guy. May he rest in eternal piece
