John is survived by his wife of 38 years, Julie Ciotto Ferrigno; and their two children, Jonathan Blase Ferrigno and Jessica Jeanne Ferrigno; as well as his two sisters, Grace Kristoff, Judy Ferrigno; and their children, Lauren Kristoff, Angela (Andrew) DeRose Learner, Elizabeth (David) DeRose Fischer, and Sarah (Todd) DeRose Sample.

John was a proud graduate of Clark University and held several positions in marketing and sales during a successful 25-year career with Unisys Corporation. He moved onto Hewlett Packard and IBM before retiring. John enjoyed working outside, reading a good book, especially historical biographies, and watching the Yankees play, win or lose. He was well-versed in current events and always enjoyed a spirited debate with family members and friends.

So sorry and sad for your loss.
John and I were close friends starting as a freshman at Notre Dame and many years at Unisys, lots of customer golf.
He was a great person and close friend.

Julie and family,
So sad to hear of John´s passing. I was fortunate to speak with him a few months back.
We had fun times back in the day hanging out with the Unisys gang. I was honored that he included me in the various mens dinner clubs we attended.
Sending my prayers to all.

Dear Julie and family, it is very sad when we lose someone we love, but the lord makes no mistakes. So may it get less sad as you go on without him. Love you, Suzanne
