John A. DeFranco

Nancy: You and John were my first in-laws,. I began my venture with your family over 20 years ago. 17 years ago I gave you both your first and only grandson, Zakory Aaron. I have many memories now that I share with Zak. I am able to share the stories of how his grandfather was an avid dart player, a very outspoken person to whom could dance with such grace as he glided across dance floors, country dancing will never be the same! John's legacy will live through the stories that'll forever be...

Its hard to find words to express how deeply sorry and how deeply sad I feel for your family right now. Your father was an incredibly unique individual. The first word that comes to me when I think of him is Honesty. Brutal sometimes, hahaha, but definitely Honest. It was an honor to know him. And John, I know you've made your father proud. Look at all the wonderful things you have; a home you can call your own, a son that loves you, a wonderful mother and sister, a slew of friends that...

We spend all our lives loving and caring for family and friends and hope that they all have good health and prosperity. Unfortunately along with the happy times, there comes sad times when we have to say goodbye to someone special to us. Not knowing or understanding the reason God has taken them from us but hoping it was for the right one. It's ok to be sad or mad. Just know that Uncle Johnny is watching over you and he is healthy and happy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. love...

I will miss my Daddy more than I can ever express. I am encouraged by the fact that I will most certainly see him again in God's timing, I just wish it hadn't been so soon :). I am comforted by the fact that I still have my best friend, my Mom, to share memories and a future with. I believe that my Dad's life was rich and full because of the loving, sacrifical way my Mom loved him. I also believe that my Dad was one extraordinary man to have inspired such love, dedication and praise from...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are so very sorry for your loss.
