Life story

Johnny lived a full and happy life. He was born in 1919 in a castle on the Plaza in Kansas City, MO. By 1949 he found the love of his life Jeanette, and they grew old together for 68 years. He had many achievements under his belt and boasted about none. He received a 76 year boilermaker pin from Local #83 and also served in the Army in World War II.

Jeannette was born in Ottumwa, Iowa in 1931. She was a very hard worker and always kept busy. She loved flowers, sewing, animals, and loved to garden and decorate. Obituary: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/kansas-city-mo/jeannette-cicutto-8074282

They both are missed each day.

Dear Bryan

There will never be a day that you won't miss him. His laugh, his stories we all heard 100 times, the way he would shake your hand hello and goodbye, his songs that he would come up with, just like you. He left a piece of himself within you to carry on everything that meant so much to him. You were his world in so many ways, and I know he would be proud to see the man you have become. Keep your head high and know he is always with you every step of each day. Love, Brittany
