John also known as Uncle John lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; spending time with most importantly his family, his friends, golfing, traveling to Italy and the occasional trip to the casino. John was a diehard mets fan. When the game wasn’t on you could find him watching golf, baking his world famous crumb cake and even breaking it down on the dance floor. John took tremendous pride in his family. Though a quiet man, his silence spoke volumes. John’s door was always open and he was always there. From dance recitals to academic achievements to celebratory moments he showed up for it all. John Pianese truly had a heart of gold and we as his family are devastated to share the news of his passing.
