It is with great sadness that we grieve the loss of a wonderful man. I am reminded of fond memories of John and Rosalba visiting my mother and Alfonso in Stouffville. He was a very kind and honorable man, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. John will truly be missed, but met with open arms by my mother, and his cousin, Maria. Rest in Peace sweet man. Our deepest condolences to his family as they grieve the loss of a wonderful man.
With Love,
Nina De Muzio, Alfonso Morra, Fred De Muzio and families.

Dearest Zia Roslba, Annette,Norma and Mikey, words cannot describe the sadness and sorrow for the loss of your father, my dear Zio John. He was Dad's first best friend after my father arrived in Toronto all those years ago. That bond led to the marriage to Rosalba and the creation of ,the Palumbo clan. Your father left in love and was received in love and I know one of the people there to greet him when he arrived in heaven was his first best friend.
