elevated lj2Mh Obituary

elevated lj2Mh John left this earth peacefully on Sunday, August 8, 2021, at the too young age of 64. John was a caring man that always put others first, especially his family. John was a loving husband to Alida and a proud father to Nicolas and Amanda (Rob). John loved to garden and by trade was a mason landscaper. John had great pride in his work where he treated each customer better than as if he was working for his own family. Johnā€™s artistic flair for outdoor landscapes was surpassed by none. John was a hard-working man, loved to travel with his wife and kids and with extended family and friends. He loved to explore new places and re-visit familiar places, sharing his discoveries with those he loved. John enjoyed small gatherings at his home with family and friends. John was a kind man that was always ready to help someone in need, he always had a one liner ready to say that would make us all laugh. His gardens were admired by many including neighbors and passersby that John would enjoy conversations with. Johnā€™s passion and talent for gardening was passed on by his parents, especially his mom. Johnā€™s daughter Amanda has also acquired an appreciation for plants and everything John taught her about gardening. His son Nicolas has acquired Johnā€™s strength, bold nature and dedication. He will be missed by all especially his brothers, Fulvio (Lucy), Fernando and Marco (Marisa) and all his nieces and nephews.Ā  He was predeceased by his parents Nicola Stancato and Giuseppina Stancato (Pugliese). John will also be missed by his parents-in-law Emilio and Rosa Russo, brother-in-law Carlo (Paula), aunts, uncles and many cousins and wonderful friends.Ā
