Jordan was my best friend for a very long time and John became like a second dad. I’m so so very sorry to see he passed away. Jaye, Jordan and Jake you are all in my thoughts.

To my brother John,
I will miss you more than words can say. You were the only one that could make me laugh so hard my stomach would hurt.
You were someone that I could always count on. My heart is broken.
I remember a story from when we were younger. Dad would wake us up early to go out strawberry picking. We each had a certain amount of cartons to fill before we could be done. I worked very hard trying to fill my cartons, but you were always done before me. Well as it turns out, when I wasn't looking, you were stealing MY strawberries !!!!!
I was always the last one to come out of the strawberry patch
It took me a few years to catch on to you.
You will be forever in my heart. I love you
Donna

John was always at St. Paul’s when we were there for altar work. He was a fountain of humor and good spirits and a person one will always remember for his kindness to everyone.

My Uncle John (my Godfather) services were beautiful today. My cousin Jake asked everyone to share their favorite memories of his dad and today it was hard to talk. I’d like to share some of my favorite memories now in honor of my cousin’s request. Every memory I have of my Uncle is of him smiling, laughing and joking. When I was a kid my uncle always carried a comb in his back pocket. I always tried to sneak up and steal his comb…. He would act ‘mad’ and laugh. My uncle’s house was always the place I wanted to be….. he always had some sort of 3-wheeler or 4-wheeler and would drive me around for hours. I remember being scared because some of the trails were tight turns and I would just hold onto him tighter, bury my head into his back, hear him laugh and I would instantly feel better. The first year I moved out on my own he filled my freezer of deer meat. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I had no idea how to cook any of it…. But because he did that for me, I learned. He would always bring me venison jerky. I think one of my best memories of him was right after my now husband bought a Gold Wing… my husband and I were out joy riding and I realized how close we were to my Uncle’s house, I asked my husband if we could stop by his house. When we pulled up his driveway my uncle was working on something in his garage and his face lit up, even though we showed up uninvited. My uncle’s eyes and smile, I’ll never forget on that day. He took my helmet, jumped on the back of the bike and off the guys went. He asked my husband to show him what the bike could do and open it up. I’ll never forget them pulling back into the driveway… my uncle smiling and laughing. My uncle then pulled out 3 beers and we sat on his front steps and we all talked for hours. Anytime my uncle John, my uncle David and myself were all together my uncle John would ALWAYS make it a point to say ‘it’s ok I’m your favorite uncle’ while making sure my uncle David heard it with a huge smile on his face.❤️

Thank you Katie! I appreciate the memories shared. This is how dad would like to be remembered. The more we share the more love it spreads about how amazing of a man he truly was and always will be. I want to note all the happy moments of his life because dad was always filled with cheer, laughter and happiness, Never of sorrow or anger. Thank you! Love ya.

John Pizzi was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I feel so sad for his family, but they are so blessed to have had John as a husband and father. What a blessing it must be to grow up with someone who embodies what it means to be a truly good person as a father. Good humored, hard working, non-judgmental, caring, gentle, funny, and giving. God doesn’t make John Pizzi’s every day… a truly special human being.
I like to think John was greeted at the pearly gates by his friend Dan, cook of the Samaritan Center who passed some years ago. Dan probably whipped up something really special and handed John an ice cold beer.
John has probably already volunteered to help someone in heaven that is in need. He’s carrying something or fixing something, or just being a good friend to someone and all the while he is smiling that big smile. I only saw John angry once and I think he was smiling… then I think he offered to help the person he was angry at.
I went fishing with John once. I had complained that without a boat I was used to not catching anything. He took me to one of his spots on Oneida lake, handed me a pumpkin-pepper colored jig and said, “today I’m gunna help you catch so many bass you will get sick of it.” An hour later I had caught my limit and we were sitting down to lunch at the restaurant.
John was a good roll model when it came to his family. I paid attention to the way he spoke about his wife and children… it stayed with me till I made a family of my own. Respect and honor and pride and love.
I’ll never forget my trips with John to Home Depot. I think one time he gave one of the employees directions for where to find something.
Anyway, I’m sad to hear about John. He was someone I looked forward to seeing and talking to when I lived at St. Paul’s. He was good. Genuinely good! And like I said, God doesn’t make people like that everyday….

As my father's friend, I remember John being around a lot when I was younger. He was always smiling and always in a good mood, just a pleasure to be around. When someone needed a helping hand John was there. His absence is truly a devastating loss for the world. He will be missed greatly by anyone who knew him.
