Obituary
Send FlowersJohn Genzale Jr., 35, of Mesa passed away January 23, 2007. Born in Shirley, MA, on April 24, 1971, he graduated in 1989 from Mesa's Mountain View High School, where he was a pitcher on the varsity. He pitched for six seasons on the Young Guns, a local team, and became founder and owner of the Hot Corner, a sports-card shop in East Mesa. He leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Bette and was unconditionally loved by mother Becky Genzale of Mesa and father John and stepmother Jenny Genzale of Citta di Castello, Italy. He was known and loved as J.J. by his brothers Daniel and Anthony and by his father- and mother-in law Norman and Cindi Kelley. Mariposa Gardens handled the arrangements (480) 830-4422.

While it's been 15 years since John Genzale Sr. has been managing editor at the Tribune (back when we were four dailies and before Scottsdale), it has been always a burst of upbeat energy to occasionally touch base by email with him and to hear of his good fortune and many adventures since 1992. So I feel real angst at learning about John Jr., whom I met only once or twice in his late teens. I remember the great pride his father had for him. John Sr., as our editor had brought so much himself...

The Hedges family Bill, Barb and Scott send much love and deep condolences to the family of JJ Ganzale. We first met the Genzale family when dad John came to work at the East Valley Tribune where Barb works. Scott played on the Young Guns with JJ and coached little league with dad John. I spoke with Scott this morning and he is having trouble believing it. He sends his heartfelt feelings of sympathy to the whole family. JJ will be missed in all our lives.
