November 10, 2024

John Graziano, Lake Ariel, formerly of Dunmore, passed away Sunday morning in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, after an illness.  His wife of 46 years is the former Alice Fadden

Born 1948 in Scranton, he was the son of the late John Joseph and Angela Summa Graziano of Dunmore.  John was a 1967 graduate of Dunmore High School.  He was a faithful and devoted member of the St Thomas More-St Mary’s Parish Community.   Prior to his retirement he had been employed by the Trane Company where he also served as the union representative.

John enjoyed hunting and the great outdoors.  He loved taking care of his yard and his neighbors always knew when he was outside doing yard work when they smelled burning leaves.  He was a skilled machinist who could fix anything which came in handy because he loved racing cars and was also a car buff.

Also surviving are his son John Joseph Graziano, Sr. and his wife Jessica; his daughter Dana Marie Gould and her husband Michael; beloved grandchildren John Joseph Graziano, Jr. and Ashlyn Rey Gould ; sisters Ann Scrimalli and her husband Carmen and Grace Vagnetti and her husband Aldo; sister-in-law Donna Graziano.

He was also preceded in death by his brother Alfonso Graziano and nephew Mark Scrimalli.

All attending the Mass are asked to go directly to the church.
