My deepest condolences to your family. I just heard of your fathers passing. I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Also that I was unable to attend his services. Your Dad and Mom were wonderful people who are missed by the many people whose lives they touched. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Quattrocki Family:

Since I was a child,I knew John from Sacred Heart Church. His loud, clear voice as he read the Scriptures was always welcomed at 10:30am Mass each Sunday.

John was a terrific inspiration to my two younger sons, Jeff and Doug, as they served as altar boys.

John will be dearly missed.

God bless all of his family.
