John had a special passion for the Christmas season, often transforming his home into a festive wonderland with his beloved revolving Christmas tree adorned with treasured ornaments. Each holiday season was filled with warmth, laughter, and joyous gatherings, which became the highlight of his year. His joyful spirit and festive traditions have left an indelible mark on all who knew him.John was predeceased by his parents, Francis J. and Regina J. Swanson Scarpato, and his siblings: Francis J. Scarpato, Edward G. Scarpato, Mary M. Lauser, Lawrence Scarpato, and Patricia Gallagher.
He will be deeply missed by his surviving nieces and nephews, along with many great-nieces, and great-nephews whose love for him was profound. His family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all those who have shared in John's life and to those who will remember him fondly. John's kindness and generosity will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew him. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.
