The following is a glowing tribute to John from Fr. John and Mat. Clara Mancantelli. "Our grandchildren have lost the most loving of grandfathers. John filled every moment of their young lives with his warm-heartedness, generous spirit, and the happiness he believed children should experience. He led them in the Orthodox faith by his example of piety and faithfulness. Grant eternal repose and blessed sleep, O Lord, to your departed servant John. May he rest in a place where all pain, sorrow, and sighing have fled away and where the Light of Your countenance shines. Memory eternal!  Father John and Matushka Clara Mancantelli"    May his Memory be Eternal!
