To John' s Family, I worked occasionally with John on the Fire Department when I was there in the 70s. I was always glad to work with him because he always had something unpredictable and interesting to say. We had quite a few conversations, and I haven't forgotten the highlights of them. One thing I remember in particular - John never showed anger. He was always amusing and amused, and kind and thoughtful to others. And entertaining. You had a good life, John, though too short. You won't be forgotten. Your friend, Dale

Our most sincere condolences on John's Passing to the entire Ianuzzi family. Always a gentleman, who was a throw-back to a different time, when having class, meant being distinctly humane to others, and unafraid to be so. With all our prayers, and love.
