To John Jr and siblings, I know you remember me, Sam & Fran Syracusa’s daughter, I shall always remember your dad calling me in Italian “Bed-da-rina”, that was my nick name. I have wonderful memories of my mom and dad & your’s being together. I also remember when my dad built the home in East Rochester. Your dad loved the Lord and is with Jesus my Savior. My love to all you

“Uncle Johnny” as I always called him, was a very special man. He was full of fun and laughter and at the same time gentle and thoughtful. He was my mothers’ brother and a true family man. I’ll forever remember his home in East Rochester and the numerous family gatherings held there as well as vacations together at the 1000 islands. He will be truly missed but left a legacy of family unity and religious devotion.
Niece, Donna
