Dear Family of John Franzese,

We are so very sad at the passing of John, he was quite an inspiration to all of us. It has been so many years since we have seen him. He was my Mother's Godson, Rose M. Franzese (Costa). My mother Rose, was very close to her brother Tony Franzese and his children. This closes another very sad chapter in all our lives.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Please accept our sympathy, I speak for my Sister Georgene and myself.



Love,

Judy and Hal DeVries

I will always remember the way grandpa would call me "Dominick-nick-nick-nick." Noone else would call me that and noone else ever called me that with so much affection. I don't know much about diabetes; and I ought to know more since it runs in the family. One thing is for sure; one way or another, granpa, we must all prepare ourselves to follow you. The world has changed alot and with each passing generation we have the chance to change the world in a positive way. You should know granpa that I am doing my best to make a positive difference in this world.



With love,

Dominick-nick-nick-nick-nick...
