I played countless rounds of golf, many hours of cribbage and spent a lot of good times with John. I even attended John’s wedding to Lourdes. He told me several times she was the best thing that ever happened to him. I will miss him.

I always will remember our wonderful family times with Uncle Italo, Aunt Kathy, Luana, and Ronny.  Those were happy times. Sending love and condolences to my dear cousins.
Sincerely,
Loretta

My family sends their deepest sympathies as well.

I am John first wife's younger sister a memory I have is when I graduated high school in 1965 John brought my sister a new car and they gave me her old car a big Ford station wagon it broke down on the interstate shortly after John offered to go with me to a Ford dealers and help me buy a new Ford Mustang rip John you will be missed

It's so good to read all the stories. He is my Uncle; Zio Italo. And he will be missed.  My oldest memory is him cheering on my sister and I during a softball game in Tulsa, OK.  It was loud. Everyone turned to my sister and I and we proudly said, "That's my Uncle"
We swapped stories about travel and sports. The World Cup soccer, Chicago Cubs, Tour de France, some golf too. 
Rest in peace Zio Italo. 


Zio Italo always greeted me with a smile and a big hug, from as early as I can remember.  I loved discussing the important items of life with him, Cubs baseball, World Cup soccer, and his golf game. I will miss you so much, Zio
Love,
Debbie

My heart breaks for both of John's families. First, the one he raised and lived with,  second, the one I was a part of for many many years, Jimmy's. John was a great boss and friend. We have many fun memories (fabulous parties at his house).  I will miss him very much.  It will not be the same not serving him his coffee and pancakes. Sending all who are hurting lots of love and strength through this difficult time. 
Hugs, Erna

RIP John you were such a great man . I enjoyed the time I got to work for you and all of your stories. I loved the way you would say how it is. Always repairing things @ the restaurant and feeding great home made food for the community. You’ll be missed.

Aw, this breaks my heart. John interviewed me for my first job at Jimmys, which basically paid for college with those tips and paychecks. Forever thankful for the Dell’Arsina family. Rest In Peace, John.
