John met his soon to be wife, Lillian Bracco, in May of 1969 and married her later that year on October 25.

Together they provided a loving and supportive home for their 4 children and 7 grandchildren. John was a great man who had a singular focus of working for and supporting his family. He was a role model to his children and helped ensure their success in life.
John will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
