Marion, Joanne, and family
I am deeply sorry to learn of John’s passing. John and I met in kindergarten and continued as classmates through Lowell High School. The heart of a gentleman stopped beating and surely was welcomed into Heaven, as a new member of the Communion of Saints.
With Deep Sympathy

I remember as a young boy, I worked my first real job for Anthony Solazzo Son Landscaping Co. My father Tony was a friend of the owner. I worked each day at the Immaculate Conception Church on East Merrimack, where years later became an Lowell Police Auxiliary officer, crossing people in front of the Immaculate, then a full-time LPD officer retiring in 2016. Thanks for the great beginning of a great career! Bob DeMoura
