I had the extreme pleasure of working with John and his wonderful family during several of his hospitalizations and surgeries. He was a fine example of an individual that does not give up; he also never complained. John's family was one of the most supportive I have ever seen during my 5 years of practice and was further emphasized what a wonderful group they were in the appreciative way John spoke of them. My condolescences to John's family.

Talking with an old friend recently and catching up on old classmates, I was shocked to learn that John was sick and then I heard that he had passed. I remember him from Holy Rosary! My deepest condolences to the Cacioppo Family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Having the pleasure of spending time with the Cacioppo family, I cannot stop thinking of their pain and suffering. Their family dedication shown toward one another is unsurpassed and most admirable. A true example to all. Years have passed and for all of us priviledged to be John's friend, we will always remember his kindness to all, sense of humour and how he lit up a room when he walked in with that million dollar smile. Johnnies enjoyable memory will live on in my heart. RoseAnn, John, Elisa, Cindy, Johnnie, Gina and all other family members, my thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy are with you.



Peace,

Johnny was a fine man, a great friend, and a proud father. One hell of a dancer and a creative jeweler. Years have passed but many fond memories remain. I'm lucky to have once called him friend. My prayers are with his family and his partners Ralph and Pete.
