It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Father, Brother, Partner and Friend on September 21, 2023 at the young age of 59. John is remembered by his family and friends as the stoic, kind and generous funny-man that we all knew him to be. A master culinary extraordinaire, Chef John graced many a kitchens, executing divine performances everywhere he went. Blessed were we to have experienced how love could be tasted when he was in the kitchen. Even with a life cut short, John leaves behind a legacy far too ambitious for most; he was a true friend, someone you could always count on. He lived life unapologetically and his good nature was ever so evident in everything he did.

Visitation will be held at Families First Funeral Home in South Windsor on Thursday, September 28, 2023 from 12:00 pm until 1:30 pm. Procession to Heavenly Rest Cemetery for the graveside service at 2:30 pm.
