John Anthony DeSimone, 72, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, October 5th, 2020. He finally reunited with his loving mother and father and favorite dog, Sammy.
John was born on April 24th, 1948 on First Place in Brooklyn, NY. He was the younger brother to his sister, Joann. John retired as a Lieutenant for the New York State Criminal Courts, and all would say he was not only the best boss, but a great friend. John was proud to be a 9/11 first responder, and in his career received multiple awards for his hard work and dedication. However, John’s proudest title, which he told everyone, was “Dad”, to daughter Ashley.
John loved golfing, spending time with his friends and family, reminiscing on old times, watching HGTV, talking politics, having the occasional vodka martini with a few olives, and helping others. John was always there when you needed him; he was generous, selfless and a true hero in many ways. John may be gone from our sight, but he will most definitely never be forgotten.
