John, I always called him Jack. We met in school and our lives kind of intertwined over the years. First it was the “cookie business”. This was for some time and then we just sort of hooked up and went for beers once in awhile. Time went by and one day we ran into each other when he was working at the Dollar Tree. Jack was a talented bass player and gigged out many times in the 80’s. He will be missed. Rest well with the angels now Jack. My sympathies to his wife and children. Charlie Blute
To Alice, my sincere sympathy to you and family. I will remember him always . Love Aunt Lee
I truly appreciate our talks together working my first job in the sales at Kelly Nissan, Jeep, Buick in Beverly. You helped me on the path to a great career in the automotive business. I also enjoyed talking about your WW2 book and history in general. RIP Jack ✝️️🙏🏻
Alice and family we are so very sorry to hear about Jack. We have such wonderful memories of him on our camping trips, club nights and cookouts. He always had a joke ready, he loved to make friends laugh. We wish you love support and peace

Jack and I met in the spring of 1956,and became best friends from then on. We grew up in a time of music, cars, drive in’s, diner’s and of course Annette Funicello. Kris and I will miss you for ever, and by the way I knew all his plans to break out of the nursing home, I would drive the get away car. I loved Jack Santisi as he loved me.
