He is preceded in death by his mother Evelyn Riolo and his father John Riolo of Massachusetts.
John was born on May 13, 1952, in Norwood, MA to Evelyn and John Riolo. In 1972 John joined the United States Army Reserves and through hard work and determination he saved enough money to enroll in Boston College, where he graduated with a degree in business management. In the late 1970’s, after graduating college, he moved to California and began working at ITS, eventually working his way up to Area Manager.
John was an accomplished and inquisitive chef and often introduced new and unique recipes to his family. He was an extremely intelligent and generous individual who loved sports, politics, fishing, reading and poker and was passionate about his family. His children remember him as a kind, gentle, and wise father who was always the first to celebrate their successes and offer words of wisdom in times of hardship.
