He was predeceased by his wife of 48 years, the former Mary Alice (Horsington) in 2019 and by a brother, Richard “Pete”, in 2006.
John is survived by two sisters-in-law, Elaine Piotrowski of Clay and Sue Herscha of Camillus; and three nieces: Shari (Piotrowski) Schwartz, Kelli (Piotrowski) Wallace, and Michele Piotrowski.
