John Capuano Obituary
John J. Capuano passed away late Saturday, January 10, 2026.
He enjoyed a full life marked by hard work, warm spirit, and a generous measure of happiness. A successful entrepreneur and owner of The John N. Fehlinger & Co., John was widely respected for his dedication and work ethic - his wise, candid voice will continue to guide us.
John's greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Geri; his children, Susan Torrisi and John R. Capuano; his son in law Steve, daughter in law Ginger; and his cherished grandchildren, Carson Torrisi, Sienna and Chloe Capuano. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
