John was born on August 24, 1948, in Casalvecchio di Puglia, Italy, to parents Alessio and Amalia (Costantino) Capece. He immigrated to the United States when he was 25 years old in search of better opportunities and a brighter future. He quickly began working in the construction / home remodeling business; which he successfully pursued over his lifetime.

John enjoyed many hobbies that were engrained in him from the old country, such as: wood working, operating and repairing machinery, gardening, raising birds and rabbits, making homemade wine, sausages, and pasta. Above all, he cherished his grandchildren: Giovanni, Antonia (Nia), Alessia, Lucia, Nicola (Koko), Antonio, and Julian. The amount of joy and love that his grandchildren brought into his life was beyond measure.

In September of 2021, John suffered a serious and debilitating stroke that changed every aspect of his life. He was unexpectedly confined to a wheelchair, and required assistance for almost every daily task. Despite being in such circumstances, he did not give up hope; he held on strong up to his final days with a smile on his face and a positive attitude.

John is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Francesca M. Capece, sons Alessio (AJ), Joseph, and John Michael. Sister- Rosanna Capece and 7 grandchildren, as well as many other loving friends and family members.
