Johnny was a loving and kind, beautiful soul. Johnny had an infectious smile and laugh, and was the sweetest man. I have fond memories of Johnny at my grandparents home in Orange, ( Olga and Art) and sharing many stories and dinners together. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends. My deepest and sincere condolences, as Johnny will be truly missed.
All of my love,
Amy Lorenze DeMarseilles ( John and Lorraine Lorenze’s (Castellazzo) daughter

I’ll always remember Johnny for his great laugh and love of music. He was always buying albums, cassettes, or CD’s. Much of my current record collection was a result of Johnny’s generosity. I’m sure he’s playing a Rolling Stones album right now. God Bless.
rest in peace Johnny you loving cousin Joanie
Rest in peace cousin Johnny! Whenever I saw you, you always spoke fondly of my mother Terri (Pagnotti Savo) and how much you admired her. You would always admonish me to be nice to her, and I promised I would. I hope you are enjoying some great music & visiting with my mother again.
