John Christopher Giraldes

Dec. 3 1926 - Jan. 21 2014

John passed away at his home on 1-21-14. He spent the past 60 years living in Santa Clara. His favorite thing to do was to ride his bicycle to Central Park and shoot hoops for hours while listening to songs on his radio. He was quite a character right up to the end.

John is survived by his daughter Cathy (Giraldes) Power (Will), his son Larry Giraldes, 11 Grandchildren and 22 Great Grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Helen, sons John and Mark, and daughter Christine.

The family would like to thank Paul and Alice for being great neighbors to John. A huge Thanks to his Grandson Frankie for the wonderful care he gave to his Grandfather.

There will be a celebration of life at the family home on Saturday Feb. 15th from 1-4. No need to bring anything, just come and enjoy! Any questions call Cathy at (408) 834-3527. Donations are appreciated to Hospice of the Valley. They truly are Angels.

Arrangements under the direction of Willow Glen Funeral Chapel, San Jose, CA.
