John joined the Navy after high school and transferred to the Air Force shortly thereafter. During his career he traveled to Virginia, Illinois, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, England, Germany, and Holland. He retired from the military after 20 years of service and was often quick to advise anyone and everyone that the military is the best career anyone could have. He was very proud of his country and very patriotic.
John obtained his nursing degree shortly after retirement and spent the next thirty plus years in the nursing profession. His favorite stories came from his time working in the Emergency Room at University Hospital in Jacksonville, FL. The work was very hard, but even after a twelve-hour shift, he would say he felt energized.
John and Jeanne spent time between St. Augustine Beach, FL and Altamonte Springs, FL during their marriage and enjoyed playing cards, dominos, and dice games.
A memorial service with Deacon John DeStazio officiating will be held on September 17, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joachim Catholic Church in Plainview. Burial will follow at St. Joachim Catholic Cemetery in Plainview.
