John will be missed by many and mourned by those blessed enough to call him son, husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle and cuz.

John's celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Summit Church, 10375 Overland Road, in Boise, with Brandon Capuano (son-in-law) officiating. Following will be a continued celebration at a location to be announced at the service.
