John passed away February 17th with his wife by his side. He was born November 26, 1947. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Debra, son Eric (Lauren), daughter Caitlin, brother Edward (Joanne), brother-in-law Lionel Andalo, sister-in-law’s Alyce Ketcham, Charlene (Tom) Rhein, Barbara Mulhair, many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

John served in the United States Navy. He was the former owner of the Palmyra Pub. Before retiring, he worked at Manitou Concrete and was a member of the Teamsters Local #118. After retiring, John enjoyed volunteering at the Perinton Food Shelf. When not working or volunteering John enjoyed spending time at Cayuga Lake and his home in Florida. John loved history, was an avid reader, and enjoyed spending time with his family. His children, Eric and Caitlin, were the light of his life. He loved to laugh, tease, and joke with his family and friends. John never turned down a good cigar and a Dewar’s. Anyone who met him never forgot him or his sense of humor. He touched many lives and his memories will be cherished.

John was the kind of person you never forgot. He was warm and funny. I will always remember the time I got to spend with John. His stay on this planet was much too short.❤️

Though, our lives took a different direction these pass several years, my memories and great times with John and Deb will always be in my heart. He loved his family and friends to an extent that it was evident of what kind of man he was. RIP ole’ friend, RIP.
Dear Deb – Wayne and I were so very sad to hear about John. We really cherished the times we have spent with both of you over the past several years at family gatherings and it is easy to see why John was so well-loved and admired. We will miss his friendliness, sense of humor, and kindness. We are thinking of you, Eric, and Caitlyn, and are here if you need us.

I have known John and his family for many years/I lived on Webster avenue just next street over from him. I also worked with him at Manitou. We shared many laughs at work, I will miss him. I send my thoughts and prayers to Debra and John’s family. Sincerely, Ross Bruno
Ed, Very Sorry to hear about your brother John, “May He Rest In Eternal Peace, God Bless.” Fair Winds And Following Seas Brother!
Sincere condolences for your great loss!
Will always remember what fun we kids had when he and his brother came over and played with all of us.
Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Debra so sorry for your loss. Prayers being said to help you and your family get through this. May he Rest in Peace, and you find peace in days ahead.
I believe that I went to Corpus Christi and East High with John. Last saw him at our 25th reunion in 1971. Sorry to hear of his passing. Somehow we lost touch. My prayers to his family.
Deb, I am keeping you, Eric & Caitlin close in thought as you mourn the loss of your beloved John. Carl & I always enjoyed him, and I still smile when I recall some of his funnier comments. May his memory be a blessing to you now and always.

I only had contact with John via the phone. I would call to give him information about Perinton Food Shelf when I was the verifier for the week. He was always kind and friendly. The time he was willing to donate to Perinton Food Shelf was wonderful. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Ed and the entire Ramsperger family, please know that you all will be in my family’s good thoughts and prayers.
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your loved one. We also volunteer at the Perinton Food Shelf, and although we did not know John personally, we appreciate the commitment he made to help needy people in our area. May he rest peacefully now, and we hope that many wonderful memories will help each of you during this difficult time.
I went to Corpus Christi School with John. We lived in the same neighborhood, there was a group of us that always walked to school together. Always fun loving nice guy. Prayers and thoughts are with your family. He will be greatly missed.
Condolences from the Quattrociocchi family. We are sorry to hear of Johns passing and have the best memories of spending time with the family back in the day. Sending love to you all during this difficult time.
