John C. Careccia affectionately known as Johnny Boy passed away early Monday morning and is survived by Carol his cousin/sister and her husband Jim, his nieces and nephews Andrea and Eugene, James and Kaitlin, and Greg (officer Krumpkie) and Bliss and also by his 8 great nieces and nephews Jared, Sandra, Tori, Emma, Harleigh, James Thomas, Lucas, and Christian. Johnny Boy loved to read, play chess and enjoy spending time on the veranda taking in all the beautiful things in nature. When he wasn't doing those things he loved to watch the boob tube for his classic shows. He was never short on a joke and could make anyone laugh, and the only thing bigger than his beard, was his heart, willing to help anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat and nothing made him smile more than his great nieces and nephews who lovingly called him Uncle Sneezy. From eating bugs, Christmas Eve sleep overs, tassels, and the days of old when knights were bold, there will forever be a big spot missing in our hearts and table.
