John Cipolla

Nous avons connu John en Normandie pour le 70 ème anniversaire du débarquement ou j ai pris une superbe photo de John avec ma fille Océane. Nous pensons beaucoup à lui comme dit Océane il est avec les étoiles . Hélène Franck et Oceane

I met Mr. Cipolla when I was 10, I love reading about WWII and my mom found him through Facebook I think and got me a meeting with him. I will never forget how nervous I was, I was shaking the whole time, and a while afterward. He was so kind, he brought me to his room full of his artifacts and he told me about his time serving as a paratrooper. He told me the story of when he and his buddy were in Bastogne and he and his buddy, Simmons, were in a foxhole and the 4th armored pulled up in...

John was a kind and gentle man. It was hard envisioning him being a combat veteran by his demeanor. Truly a great man and all Americans owe him a debt of gratitude. I will never forget him and will always be grateful that our paths crossed. He enlightened many generations by guest speaking about his experiences. He spoke to my classes many times and was very approachable. I regret I didn't hear of his passing so I could have been more timely in my response. Rest well my friend.

May you find strength and peace by pouring out your emotions to God in prayer.

Where is The Prince, Who Can So Afford to Blanket His Country With Troops For Its Defense;
Where As TEN THOUSAND Men Are Descending From The Clouds...
Oh, What Mischief They Could Cause.
Oh, What A Force It Would Take To Repel Them!!!



Ben Franklin

John always had a smile on his face, he was a gentle soul. I will miss seeing his smile every morning. Rest in Peace and Thank you for your service, you are a hero. Blessing to the family, especially his daughter who we all came to know, she also was like her Dad...kind hearted. Sincerely, Mary Ellen

I did not know Mr. Cipolla but anyone who was a paratrooper during WWII has my respect. Mr. Cipolla is a real hero and a great American. God only knows that we need more Mr. Cipolla's and less people complaining about everything from the time they get up in the morning till bedtime.
What a remarkable man!! May god bless the Cipola family.
