Dear family,
I worked with John at Production Stamping in Milwaukee for 5 years, and was deeply saddened to hear about his passing. John was always a hard worker, and enjoyed being around people. I remember the numerous times he spoke about his family here, and also in Italy; along with his love of making wine. Again, my deepest sympathies to all your family, he will truly be missed.

Dear Sandy, Josie, Christina & Family,

John Corbo danced his way into our hearts when my sister and I were just kids in the Italian Dance Group. He made everything so fun, always quick with a joke and easy to tease. We loved being around him--he was always so good natured and welcoming. And we loved running into your family at Festa and seeing his beautiful daughters grown up and his beautiful baby grandson. Our sincerest and heartfelt sympathies are with you at this time as are our thoughts and prayers.

Love, Lena and Anna (Luna)
