John Robert Marucci

Rest in Peace Panther. You were a wonderful human.

Here we are some thirteen years after my cousin has passed.I still miss laughing with him, it is something we did frequently when we would get together.I just want to affirm that he is still very much missed.

He taught me everything about Dale Carnegie and how to speak in public. He was one of my top 10 most influential people in my life. Very giving. Very kind. Very awesome. Can't get better than John.

A phantom uncle, of sorts, who appeared every few years until recent times when it was every few months. His music meant so much to his expression whether it was in his drumming or "developing guitar playing" (wink, wink, nudge nudge). I'm so happy to have seen him often in the years before Taiwan. We were all lucky to have been touched by his humour and wit. John - as you sit before your dinner in heaven - please stop arguing with those damn cookies and just eat it.

what can i say about my brother john... we grew up together, being
2 yrs apart,had our usual brother/
sister disputes. but he was always
there if i needed him.
he lived far away most of the time,
but i still felt him nearby.
i will miss his unusual snicker,
his sarcasm and wit.....but i can
hear him when i listen.
seeing all the pictures of him and
the videos, its like hes right here with me. as he always will be.

John was my cousin,the times we got together as kids were always
filled with much laughter and just
a tinge of mischief.Many of our childhood stories and adventures
are a source of laughter at family
get togethers to this day.Our 1992
fishing trip to Alaska gave us time to bond as adults as well as
renew and laugh about old childhood
stories.He will be sorely missed by
me

What a loss to famly, friends and collegues. John was greatly loved and respected by all who knew him. He was just the very best - I will always love and miss him.
