John (Gianni) Guzzo was born in Brooklyn, New York September 7,1925 and passed peacefully of natural causes in Zephyrhills, FL at 94 years old (July 30, 2020). He was a very proud veteran who served on the United States Navy Medical Corps from (1942-1946), receiving the following honors:

If you asked John Guzzo how he was doing on any given day, he'd say "I'm fine and dandy, like a sweet piece of candy!"

This was the "Never Give Up" spirit and conviction that he embraced everyday...especially when it came to his great granddaughters (Jillian & Joni), who may miss him the most but also realize that "Papa John" is now in a much better place, free from any ailments that kept him from living his best life! John is also survived by his daughters: Theresa and Evelina, son-in law: Yunee, daughter in law: Hung, granddaughters: Nina and April, grandsons: Billy, Robert and Michael, grandson in-law: Jeremy, great grandson: Joshua, nieces: Francine, Debbie, Roz and Heidi, nephews: Michael, Chris and Hans, cousin: Joe, and several other friends and relatives from New York and New Jersey...lets not forget Betty White (one of his favorite Golden Girls;)!
