My condolences to the Zedella family . It saddens me to find john is no longer among us. I had the honor of working with John on multiple projects and tip a few with him at the local watering hole after work. John was a very wise man and a true character, bigger than life in his own way. I will always treasure and be grateful that I knew John and we were friends. Even though close to 30 years my senior he treated me with respect and as an equal. A very quick wit and dry sense of humor....

Dear Ones, I met John when he would visit his Rose at the Normandy. He always got a smile from her. My husband Bill would eat at the same table & John always made us laugh. Please know that the thoughts of your parents are the very joy you gave them in their lives. May God Bless & Angels Keep ~ Carol

My husband Andy, now deceased, and John were cousins. Their mothers, Ann Zedella and Mary Bellian were sisters. John and Andy shared many memories thru the years and I’m sure they are revisiting their lives in heaven. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are for you and family.
