John Cantoni Obituary
He was born in North Adams, MA on June 13, 1961, a son of Carol J. (Cimonetti) Cantoni and the late John Michael Cantoni. He attended local schools and graduated from Drury High School with the class of 1979 where he was a tri-captain of the varsity football team. John received his bachelor's degree from Siena College.
He was the proprietor of the former Brick Oven Restaurant and also worked at Green Mountain Race Track. When his parents were unable to live on their own, John became their primary caregiver. John enjoyed reading, sports, and trips to the races at Saratoga. He was a generous person and supported many charities during his lifetime.
Survivors include his mother- Carol J. Cantoni of North Adams and one brother- William G. (Cindy) Cantoni of North Adams. He also leaves two nephews- Jake Cantoni and Michael Cantoni and several cousins. John's family would like to thank the staff at North Adams Commons and HospiceCare in the Berkshires for the wonderful care they provided.

So sad to hear about Canno. He was a legendary figure at Siena. Always fun loving. Walking up and down the halls of WBY in his cut off Drury football practice jersey, ready for action with his partner Slime. John had an incredible sense of humor who kept us laughing even when we were the target of his antics("Punishment!"). RIP Canno.
