| John L. Naddeo |
| September 21, 1920 - November 17, 2014 |
On November 17, 2014, John L. Naddeo passed away and reported to Post Everlasting. John L. Naddeo was a Post Member who had a kind soul, he loved making wine and watching the reruns of Lawrence Welk Show on T.V. On one occasion I asked him what was the best time of his life, he said during the 1930's because people had nothing and they were much more kind to each other. He was a good man and I am glad to have known him. He will be sorely missed. (Support staff member).
