I am so sorry for your loss. No one is ever prepared for the final goodbye to earthly life. There is peace in knowing that he will be enjoying eternal life with Jesus and all those who proceeded him in death. I send my love and support.
Thank you, Maureen.
So nice of you.
God’s peace & comfort to the Pozzo families. Sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. It is comforting to know that dad is in God’s Good Hands now. Can only imagine his joy of being re-united with his bride too. May Christ’s peace be with all of you during this sorrowful time.

Thank you so much for your thoughts. We were so blessed with him sharing his life and love for these 101 years.
What an incredible man! We were privledged to be with him on numerous “Pozzo” occasions. Always had a smile and a kind word. Know that he is with Clara and happy. Praying the God is enveloping his family with the love and peace. Talk about a life well lived (sigh). Cherish and smile and laugh as you recall memories. It’s what Mr. Pozzo would want that. Hugs and kisses:)
Thank you Carol. A wonderful man who always enjoyed family events! We are so very grateful for your love, support, and prayers. Love to you, Benj, and family. Kathy

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences. I didn’t know John, but I heard many stories from my dear friend, Cynthia. I know what a special soul John is, what an incredible life he lived, and how loved and cherished he is. May he live on forever in the hearts, minds, and memories of those who love him!
Thank You Matthew
Very Kind – John Jr
My prayers are with you and for John. But I know he is enjoying the fruits of
many years of prayer. He was a wonderful person and a joy to be with. I had the pleasure of living with Sr. Eleanor and met John at the dinners he attended with us. We all enjoyed his humor and his talents. God is pleased to welcome him home.
What a beautiful soul John has been and still is and what a cherished family he and his bride have left as a legacy!!! All of us who have had the enormous privilege of loving John are so graced by that knowing and loving him! To his loving family… he is your best advocate in heaven now… interceding for your every need and intention… pray to him! He loves you so! Many , many prayers!
Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and friendship.
John and Clara lived across the street from us (the Santens) for 60 years and what fantastic neighbors they were! I can remember the holiday and patio parties they had back in the day. And after Clara passed and then Jeanette, John would go to the cemetery and visit them both. He said Jeanette was buried near enough to Clara… neighbors again! My dad and John would have long visits retelling great stories and the talking about the simple pleasures of life. Well, they are all four reunited again and I’ll just bet they are having a grand time. Rest in peace, John. We are grateful for your friendship and your service to our country.
Thanks Laura. Great friends and neighbors.
Uncle John was the sweetest and most sincere soul. He reminded me of my Grandma Connie”s gentle spirit. We were blessed to have such an Amazing soul in our lives, what a great gift. ❤️💕 I always loved sitting on my Grandparents back patio when Uncle John and Aunt Clara would visit! So sorry for your loss. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
So sweet Dina
We loved your grandma
Condolences to the family. My brother Roger and John were neighbors and friends. They visited often in Roger’s garage to talk things over. Roger and I had great respect for John. He was a master craftsman.
May he rest in peace,
So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. It’s always hard to lose a parent , but it looks like he had a very long , eventful life and a wonderful extended family surrounding him throughout. Take comfort in knowing that the family tradition he established continues to carry on in yours. My deepest condolences , Mike
Thanks for Mike for your thoughts. We were blessed to have him with us all these wonderful years.
Uncle John was a special man who always had a smile and a story to share. He and Uncle Mick always reminded me of my sweet grandpa Emil, their brother. They all knew the precious value of family. I’ll never forget Uncle John hugging me at my grandpa’s funeral in 2011 and saying quietly, “Family is everything.” It still brings tears to my eyes. Such a good man. I’m sure he was welcomed home by Aunt Clara. He never missed a chance to tell me how much he missed her.
Thank you. The brothers are together again working on some heavenly project.
John
Sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful dad. He’s was one of a kind. The many many memories of their friendship brings tears of joy. I’m sure Reno and John are finally united and having a beer. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. With love
Thanks
Lots of great memories with the Berra’s Nothing like a cold Busch bee on that hot summer day.
