Surviving are his wife, Virginia “Ginger” (nee DeCesare); his only son, Jonathan “John” and his wife Nicole; his daughter, Marielle and her husband Vincent; and his two granddaughters, Addison Ann Mezzina and Antonia Grace Buonfiglio. Through the years, John shared a special relationship with his sisters-in-law and their spouses, Isabella Minervini and her late husband Felice, Claire Baldassari and her husband Vincent, and Marie Daseking and her husband William. Many nieces and nephews shall also miss his earthly presence.
