My thoughts are with Janel and Kris, all of the family and all of Johnny's friends. Please hold onto the love and memories that were shared together.
He showed love and laughter with all that he knew.
My dad and he were cousins by sharing mother's that were sisters. They were fast friends and more like brothers at times. He even lived with my dad for some time where they helped each other. I've even heard stories about how they loved to eat at the buffet.
May he rest in peace knowing that he has been reunited with all of the family and friends that have passed before him.
(((Hugs)))

My Daddy, we would talk every day, text, call, FaceTime. Not a day went by with out us connecting, saying hi daddy, I love you, have a great day. He would say, “Hey Baby, I love you have a great day”. I look at my phone and I just miss those texts. I am missing his voice, his laugh, his hugs and kisses. I remember so many good times. I remember calling him up and always answering “hey baby, what’s up? You need me to come up?” He first concern was me, my family, his grandkids. Gosh he made me so happy, still does. Growing up, people would tell me how much I’m like my daddy, how much I was daddy little girl, I stuck up for my dad, I stuck by my dad, I would kill Cancer before it killed him, I took him to Cancun after winning too sales rep in my company. We had many daddy/daughter trips and that was the one of my favs. He was battling cancer and we went to Cancun. Both of us never been outside the US, rushed to get passports.... all worth it! We went to Cancun and boy oh boy that was interesting to say the least. My dad made friends with all my work colleagues, introducing himself as a proud dad. Even to the VP of my company, saying my daughter won this trip! The VP said, yea I know, I gave the trip to her! Haha! He was proud of me, that’s for sure. He got up everyday in Cancun and would watch the sunrise with me. He arranged coffee and toast for our morning sunrise. He made friends with the staff wherever he went! That was his nature, friendly. Anytime there was a dance floor, he would dance with all the ladies, pulling them up, smiling and having a great time! That was a great trip. Another trip we took was to the Daytona 500, I said “daddy, I’m gonna be at your place at 3am, I’m gonna beep and wait 10 min, if you want to go, come down” not 5 min later, I see my dad with his red suitcase, coming down the stairs. Smile on his face from ear to ear. We left and drove straight to Florida. None stop! He was spontaneous and I love that! Free from thinking, we would just do things! Best days ever! My daddy would just drive up to my house, no reason but to see us. As soon as I see his car, I would get this feeling in my heart. My kids and Frankie were allowed to just be themselves. No act, just relaxed and calm and just be who they are. My dad never expected anything, he could sit here, take over the “chair” and just be in the room. He had that way. His presence is still here, thanks Daddy. My dad filled my garden every year with tomatoes and helped me with anything and everything. I do not know how my dad made it to all his Grandchildren’s events. Even making to multiple in a day! How did he do that? Thanks dad! Jeez all the family vacations he went with us on. He was game for going anywhere we were. He didn’t care about the money, he didn’t care about the food, he just wanted to be there and laughing with us. Oh man, my dad took Sandi down a water slide and the ended up flipping at the end, oh man Sandi was so scared! Sandi was little, 3 maybe and my dad asked her, “you wanna go again” she stood up and said “NOPE!” And walked away. Hahaha he was laughing so hard cause she was so mad. Oh one time PJ went sleigh riding with me and his grandkids, all of them, Sandi, again looked to PJ, he put her on the sled, she was about 5. She sat there, waiting to go and scared to go, PJ pushed her and down she went... she screamed the entire way! She came up and yelled at PJ, “you try it! I did not like that”! PJ couldn’t stop laughing and he got on the sled, and she pushed him down the hill. I can still hear us laughing so hard hat day! He tried to get on the sled, he slipped and fell backward, he couldn’t move and was stuck! I was laughing at him so hard and he was laughing so hard. Took about 10 minutes to get him up! Hahaha just funny! Lots of memories! Good times!
Thanks daddy for great laughs and times. I love you so much Daddy.
Love - your babycakes, your baby, your girl...

You Came to All of the events Such as my black belt test , Gabis Soccer Game , Matts baseball games, And sarah’s Recitals. You would support everyone in the bros. You Are A Amazing Grandpa
Love you - Sandi

P.J. Well , John I’d like to be the 1st to tell you congratulations ! It’s official ... I talked to Matt and he has decided that you have made it into the Bro’s . I’m giving up my #1 spot to you. You are now #1 Bro. Those of us in the club always considered you a Bro , but it made it so much fun for us saying you weren’t !
To the rest of the Bro’s , sorry we all have to move down a spot but I’m sure we are all glad to do it .
John thank you for always being their for me and my family . You have left a lasting impact on us all. We loved your company and enjoyed your joyous attitude when you were around . Boy , could you take a joke . Lord knows WE made you the butt of those many jokes. You took them so well !
I personally have learned so much from you . You always took my side when I needed someone to . You answered the phone when I called ( as long as it wasn’t nap time ) ,listened when I talked , talked when I needed to listen , stood up when needed and stepped back when necessary .
It’s hard to truly know someone but I can say that I truly knew you . We had real conversations about real life things. I’m happy that we’ve discussed such things because it made our relationship so great.
P.J. Was always there . It did not matter what it was , where it was or @ what time it was . “Frankie it’s 10:00 p.m. Janel is stuck @ airport in D.C. or Philly I’m gunna drive down to get her “. “Frankie there’s 2 feet of snow out, Aunt Lynda is stuck I’m going to get her . “Frankie , I’m coming up for 8 hour horse show or a 2 day Martial Arts event “. That’s what I’ve heard from P.J. over the years. The events changed but if was family he was there 100%.
I will miss John on our vacations , day trips , boating, just hanging @ Kris’s house and most especially during the holidays . Thanks for the memories , Love Chachi
P..S. Hit The Woah P.J.

Papa John would always be there for anyone under any circumstances. Whether it was giving me vanilla extract when I ran out of it or coming to pick me up from school, he always helped out. No matter the person, even if he didn’t know them, he wanted to make their day better. I remember one day when I went to school, a girl in my grade told me that Papa John gave her and her friend a ride to school after missing the bus. He saw them at the bus stop and asked if they had needed a ride since the bus left without them. Another student in my school would always tell me how Papa John went to his father’s pizzeria in Peekskill and constantly ordered the same soup. He would mention how nice Papa John was and would always look forward to seeing him in their restaurant. Papa John came to all of my dance recitals and concerts with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He was always watching Gabi horseback riding, Sandi doing her belt tests, and Matthew at his belt promotions with a big smile on his face. No matter how far away, he somehow made it to every event every single time. Everyone he met loves his personality, generosity, and constant positivity. All of the memories with him, like holidays, long car rides, boat trips, and vacations to Ocean City, Maryland will be remembered forever.

i remember and i will always remember when we were at the fair and me and matthew wanted to go on this ride. i was so scared to go just with matt so i asked papa if he wanted to go on with us. ofcorse he said yes. so we went on it and i remember him saying,"please get me off this ride" i felt so bad for him. when the ride stopped, he was soooo dizzy that he couldnt get off the ride. it was the funniest thing ever. another memory is when we were at disney and he got a little scooter. me and my sister sandi would take turns sitting on his lap and driving it with him. when it was my turn, me and papa adventured off into a new dimension. we couldnt find my family and we were lost. we stopped by this guy who was cleaning gum and had a talk with him and eventualy found my family. i could talk all day about my amazing grandpa. love ya❤️

John. What can I say. He was more then a brother, he was a friend. He broke my arm when I was 5 ( I wanted to race him and we went across the street, he took the gravel side cause he was afraid I would slide too much, I took the concrete side, fell right at the end of the race that I was winning, and broke my arm in 3 places! ), he broke my big toe ( I didn’t jump out fast enough when we were playing jump rope, and he jumped in and crushed my toe ), he broke my knee bone ( playing touch Football at Depew park, he touched me, I fell, knee hit rock, broken knee bone ). He always called me and introduced me as his older sister ( he was 5 years older ) and would get a good laugh, at my expense, when he was believed! He was a prankster, probably from the day our mom had him. He was a greaser when he was a teenager, his pompador and bop!
He loved our parents, his sisters and brothers, his cousins, his friends, his kids, their spouses but most of all his grandchildren. He was sooooo proud of each and every one of them. They are all so different and into different things, and he was so interested and proud to be part of it all. We all worried about him being alone during this pandemic. His daughter and son-in-law picked him up the night before he passed and brought him to their house. I, personally, want to express my thanks to them. They will never know how much it helps to know he wasn’t alone, to know his babygirl Janel, his best friend, Frankie, along with their kids, were with him. He wasn’t the type to be alone and I’m sure he was happy to be there. THANK YOU!!!
I am going to miss getting the phone calls, can you come by after work, computers not working, I can’t print, arrange my photos for me! I love you John. I miss you John. Say hello to mommy, daddy, Arline, Diane, teashia, Fran, Sean and give them a big hug and kiss from me.

On December 5th, 2019 I just stepped off Metro North in Peekskill to start my first day at my new job with the NYS DMV. Since I didn’t know where I was going I hired a taxi, John’s taxi service and stated where I was going. The driver was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. John stated to me that he had a sibling, an older (haha) sibling named Lynda(inside joke) who worked there. I thought to myself how great now I will know someone. I looked for Lynda everyday but I didn’t get to meet her until about a week later and we have been fast friends since. Thank you John for the introduction! Thank you for my wonderful rides to work. You are missed and loved by so many. Don’t be picking up strangers up there and keep smiling! R.I.P.
