JOHN IVARONE Jr.

In loving memory of you a candle is burning. For many many many years have kept in a photo album four newspaper clippings of you. They are all in black and white and came from the Trentonian newspaper. One clipping is you with the Lou Giovi Band. The event a private pool party. The second clipping is you with the Jim Young Band and a new Deusenberg car. The event was the Trenton Speedway pre-race banquet The third clipping is you and the Mig Four Band at the Big L. The fourth clipping is...

With each year that passes there is a sadness and tears. In your loving memory dear Jack a candle is burning. They say memories are treasures Every memory you gave me as your special friend have become cherished treasures. Every tape recording that I have of you playing the trumpet over the many years are treasures too. Will be listening to the first tape of you doing what you loved to do and will be remembering. Miss you more and more from that special place in my heart that has forever...

In loving memory my dear special friend that it has been five years. A white candle is burning brightly. Near by is a special photo of you and me. We are slow dancing to our song. Have a recording tape of you playing our song on the trumpet and then you start singing our song. And last what you do is dedicate our song to me. Will be playing that tape over and over again and cherishing a heartwarming memory. We shared a very special friendship for five decades. There are thousands of wonderful...

In loving memory a candle is burning beside an old photo of you dear Jack. From the 80's at the Glendale Inn. Will be listening to a favorite tape of you playing the trumpet at Amarone's back in 2009. Will be remembering so many memories. Missing my special friend and our special friendship. Heartfelt love always and forever.

A candle is burning in loving memory of my very special friend. Can never forget you Jack. Can never forget the memories. Will be listening to a 2012 tape recording of the one night gig you did at Villa Romanza in Yardville. Once upon a time it was called "GIOVI'S". As I listen will be fondly looking at the many photographs of that night. Remembering for a little while that the hands of time got turned back. Missing you in my own special way and with love.

I am saddened to hear of Jack's passing. I played with Jack in various musical groups through the years. He was a geat musician and bandleader. More importantly, he was a great person and friend who will be missed.

Lots of loving thoughts on this Christmas Day. Bought cannoli's because I remember how much you loved them. Not the ones with any chocolate or chocolate chips just the traditional ones. A comfort food that made you smile. Especially when time after time they were from me. Miss you and that smile.
