John Battaglia Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 3, 2024.
John Battaglia was born in Manhattan, NY on April 25, 1955, to the late John Sr. and Jean Battaglia. John was brought to Brooklyn as a child and raised in Bensonhurst. He spent most of his adult life in Brooklyn and Staten Island with his wife Carole and owned and operated Battz Towing Inc. until they retired to Boca Raton, Florida.

A family oriented man who enjoyed playing chess, he had a passion for classic cars, and couldn't get enough of his grandchildren. He was hardworking and compassionate, and known to be smiling at all times. John was well known in the community for his festive Christmas light display that neighbors would look forward to every year.

John passed away on February 9, 2024 at the age of 68. He is survived by his wife, Carole; his children, April, Michael, Stephanie and Sean; grandchildren, Joshua, Jasmine, Jason, Jonathan, Matthew, Brianna, Gabriella, Anthony and Vincent; and great granddaughter Leilani. He was also the loving grandfather to the late Christopher Parker Sanzone.
