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. He was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Catherine, sisters Diane and Cathy, brothers Bob, Ron, and Vince.

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.

A special thank you to the staff at Halifax Hospital Medical Center, Daytona Beach, Florida. Those wishing to donate in John’s memory can do so to the Perinton Food Shelf, the American Heart Association, or Halifax Hospital.

Calling Hours will be held Wednesday February 26, 2020 3-6 PM at the Richard H Keenan Funeral Home (Egypt Location). Funeral Mass Thursday February 27, 2020 10 AM at Church of the Assumption.

    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.❤️

    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.

  13. 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.

    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.
