It is with great sadness we say good bye to a man "Bigger than Life". John passed away on September 29, 2013 at the age of 54 years with his loving family and friends at his side. He leaves behind his wife Marylena (nee Bertocchi), son Rocco John, daughter Olivia, and twins Peter and Nina.

Johnny, my good buddy, cugi, i will miss you for ever. All the good times we had from sitting on my picnic table every Saturday afternoon enjoying fresh pannini's, snowmobiling, boating,4 wheeling, fishing, concerts,
travelling all over to catch a nascar or F1 race...we did it all. You are the type of man that could walk into a room and completely take it over.
The memories and laugh's will never be forgotten.
