John A. Zandonella

Dearest Zandonella Family,

I was very saddened to hear about John's passing. A friend from Pittsburg told me and I just couldn't belive he was gone. Then as I was looking up his obituary I found that Fosca was gone too! I was just devastated. I truly enjoyed working at the restaurant. I was actually planning to return to Pittsburg to have my "50th" Birthday bash there at the restaurant. Then I was told he sold the restaurant. I feel very fortunate to have met two very wonderful people....

My condolences to the Zandonella Family. This is "ReyHey" as Yolanda L. named me way back when. Played on the Elks softball team for a bit.

All of the best.

Dear Louie, Michael, Patty, Anna and Families,
I feel like a chapter has just closed in the finest book I've ever read. With that closing we've lost two of my very favorite characters: John and Fosca. Lucky for me they were real people! Thank you all for the love, friendship, hard work, and fun I always enjoyed: I was a stranger in your midst but your mom and dad took me in and their generous arms and hearts brought me into the fold of your wonderful family. I loved them so, and I...

Dear Anna, Patty, Lou, Mike, and Families, and Auntie:
We were saddened to learn of John's passing, and so soon after dear Fosca. Our deepest condolences on the loss of your father, grandfather, great-grandfather, nephew. If two people were meant to be together, it would be Fosca and John. They lived together, worked together, and loved together. They are with each other again, as it was meant to be. They were two of the most generous and kind people we've had the pleasure of knowing,...

To the Zandonella Family;
I am John's great-nephew. I will remember him for always having a smile on his face, every time you looked at him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, when I think about him. He will be truly missed. I will miss going by his house and eating candy that he always had in a little bowl. One thing I will also miss is him asking me about how I was doing in school, and if I was doing good. I will miss my great-uncle John. Love, Dominick Guadagni

Dear John,
Through this letter to you, I would like to thank your children for sharing you and Fosca with all of us in the court reporting profession and for what you have added to all of our lives in general.

You have always been a leader, courageous and ceaseless in your efforts to make lives better and push forward with beneficial changes. Your knowledge of the political process is only one way in which you championed our causes.

One of my fondest memories of you has...

To the children, grandchildren and spouses of John's family-

I met John about 20 years ago when I returned to this County from school. He was so kind and remarkable and he always had a smile. I worked with him last (he prepared a transcript for me) a little over a year ago and he was still smiling. He was a great man and I will remember him fondly.

God Bless All of You.

John was a very pleasant man, I remember he actually remembered where he knew me from when he greated me in his restaurant. A great man. I know his family will have many happy and fond memories.

With deepest sympathies to the Zandonella family and friends, we already miss the dynamic team of Fosca and John. What a couple!
