“Brother”
“To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.” (by Clara Ortega) –

John and I became friends when we joined the Aquinas Wrestling team. We also became friends with Dean Salvaggio. We three quickly became best of friends. This friendship has remained strong even when life would get in the way. John would call at odd hours and pick up on the previous conversation we may have had a month ago. He had a wit and humor that would leave me laughing long after the conversation ended. John was thoughtful, kind and warm hearted. He would have family over for large gatherings and cook-outs. Dean and I would always get “the family” invitation. John was so proud of his family and made sure he introduced Dean and I to every member with a little story behind each of them. John would cook, Dean would tend bar and I would Supervise them both…lol.. My heart hurts knowing that my buddy has passed..I will cherish the memories, the GREAT times, the late night phone calls, the light-hearted bantering back and forth about our wresting days and other unforgettable memories.. Thoughts and prayers to Mick, Joe and the Toscano family for the loss of John. Take comfort in knowing he was loved and touched the lives of so many…Miss you buddy. See you on the other side..
Thank you for being such a wonderful big brother! You were such a loving Uncle, amazing son to our parents,, the family will not be the same. I cherish the childhood we shared, moving back and getting to be in each other’s lives.
I love you John John.
