Sorry to hear about his passing. He was our best man at our wedding in 1957. My mother-in-law worked at Soldi's Restaurant for years. She was the cook and made the Soldi spaghetti.
I still have some of her recipes. Loved going there for dinner. John was a great guy.

We enjoyed every minute we spent with John. I always think about the spaghetti dinner and his conversation with Nick the Cook. John to Nick "you were in the Army?" Nick to John "Yes 25 years in the Reserves." John to Nick "Ours?" We will miss
John. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

To the family of John Soldi I guess we did not see much as cousins but we still were all of the Soldi clan and the soldi name will still go on with the future generation.
RIP.
