Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on February 5, 1949, John was the son of the late Antonio and Libera (Sangillo) Sferruzza. He was a longtime resident of Lodi, New Jersey.

John served with honor in the U.S. Army. Following his service, he successfully dedicated his career to the steel industry. Guided by a deep belief in self-reliance and a fierce entrepreneurial spirit, John took pride in building success on his own terms. Away from work, John found peace and contentment at his farmhouse in Upstate New York, a cherished retreat where he was always happily engaged in his latest project and cultivating the simple life that brought him great joy.

John's greatest legacy is his loving family, which he built with Cynthia Sferruzza, the mother of his three children. He was a cherished father to Cher and her husband, Gerald O'Malley; Elizabeth Cook; and Anthony Sferruzza and his wife, Ana.

He was most profoundly a beloved grandfather to Maris, Dylan, Analia, and Isabella. His unconditional love and pride in his grandchildren brought immeasurable joy to his life.
