Notes |
- John Ventresca was born in Niagara Falls and passed away quietly in his sleep while on vacation in Florida in 2021. John was the youngest child of Rosina (Centofanti) and Giovanni Ventresca and was preceded in death by his parents and older siblings; Elanda DelZoppo and Anthony Ventresca.
John grew up in Niagara Falls and attended Niagara Falls High School. He graduated from the University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy in 1970 and settled in Michigan. John owned the Professional Building Pharmacy in Pontiac, MI, for over 20 years, where he served as the community's pharmacist. After selling his business, he worked as a traveling pharmacist for large stores, filling in where needed.
John loved to travel, sailed on many cruises, and crossed the globe with his friends and family. "Johnny V" was always the life of the party, made new friends everywhere he went, and lived to the fullest.
John is survived by his niece, Lisa (Paul) Gianneschi; and nephews, Kevin (Stacy) Ventresca, Robert (Patricia) DelZoppo, David (Linda) DelZoppo, Gerald (Gail) DelZoppo, and John (Ruth) DelZoppo; eight grand-nieces and grand-nephews, many cousins, including the Zuccari families of Bergholz, and countless friends who were more like family.
A Celebration of Life reception will be held for both John and his brother, Tony, on Saturday, May 21, 2022. Friends and family are invited. Email SanctuaryFL@mindspring.com for details.
