My deepest condolences to John II (Johnny) and family, children, grandchildren.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr Palumbo from childhood through adulthood and being a childhood friend with Johnny. As such, I remember well Mr Palumbo and Nancyetta, both of whom were warm and loving people.

I remember clearly the stories of lugging that BAR across Europe, but didn't know he landed on/at D-Day and had to swim ashore. He was mostly quiet about the war, but that was like so many of...

Our heartfelt condolences to John Jr (Johnny) and family. Your Dad was truly one of the heroes of his generation - wading ashore at D-Day. I always remembered his story of lugging his BAR around - awe inspiring, even though he was a bit quiet about as most of his generation was.

I had the joy of knowing him and your Mom, through the years, from childhood forward. They will both be missed.

Uncle Johnny was the best . Was so wonderful to his sisters and nieces and nephews. Couldn't have done college without him. His sisters treated him like the king he was . My mother counted the days until she could cook his favorite macaroni and eggplant parm. She helped raise him after their mother died . All his sisters did . Very great family unit for the 4 of them.
Miss you uncle John

My deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Palumbo. As I recall, he was a good friend of my father and mother, Charles and Mildred Cool (Dad was with Central bank as Exec. VP for many years), and I seem to recall my dad taking me to Savage Lumber occasionally as a child. I believe that Mr. Palumbo's friends called him "Johnny". 97 years old... his family is so fortunate to have had him with them for so long. With respect and regards, Steven Cool.
