John R. DiVietro
AUBURN - John R. DiVietro, 74 of Auburn, passed away June 30, 2021 at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse.

John was an outgoing and affable man who enjoyed conversations with people from all walks of life and all nationalities. In addition to Auburn, he lived several years in Florida and NYC. John's travels took him to Europe, Russia, Egypt, Israel and the Caribbean Islands; his favorite was Egypt. Through his travels he learned about different cultures and various arts and cuisines lending him a broad appreciation of what the world has to offer.

So sad to hear of John´s passing. Had so much fun in Auburn Players shows, especially when he had to learn to fake play the cello in "A Little Night Music." RIP, John.

To John´s family
John and I were friends for years. He was my professor at college and also a often visitor to Spirits where I was a bartender for a long time. John sold my parents home on Richardson Ave and we shared a lot of laughs. I really enjoyed his company. We were good friends. I´m sorry for your loss. He is remembered to me warmly.
