John Ricci Obituary
John is survived by his wife Lisa Ricci, his children Damien Ricci, Elizabeth Kimber and Justin Anderson, his brothers Frank and Andrew Risucci, and his sister Camille Allensworth, as well as many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
John was born on February 4, 1949, graduated from Greenwich High School, and after some time spent in Colorado and Florida, he came back to work in Greenwich for the remainder of his life. He was well-known throughout the town, often to be seen with containers in hand, sharing his homemade sauce (gravy for some of us), as well as his home grown vegetables. He was always known to be generous, kind and to have a big heart. John was active in both the 9th Districts Veterans Association and the Byram Veterans Association.
At John's request, there will be no funeral or memorial service, instead he asked that friends and loved ones share and raise a glass in his name to toast the fond memories they all had with him.

John was a wonderful neighbor, he would always bring me tomatoes and encouraged me to pick his Basil. His Sylvan Knoll neighbors will miss him.
