Assunta. In 1957, he moved his family along with his parents and his brother's family, to

Southern California where in 1960, he and his brother Frank opened and successfully

operated for more than 30 years, Upland Printing Co. John loved spending time with his

family, and in his younger days, enjoyed thoroughbred horse racing. If you wanted to find

John on December 26 of any given year, you would need to go to Santa Anita Racetrack

in Arcadia where you would find him and his older brother Frank enjoying opening day.

His family, his work ethic and his commitment to his friends, were the cornerstones of

John's life. He will be greatly missed by all his friends and family.
