John Giannini Sr.

Visitation Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2020
Place of Funeral: All Services are private.
Interment: Queen of Heaven Cemetery

John Giannini Sr., 85, Bloomingdale, IL, passed away early Thanksgiving morning, November 26th, 2020. He was and always will be someone his family is most grateful for.

He was born in the Molise region of Italy to his mother Clara in 1935 and came by boat to Chicago in 1957 to marry the love of his life, Anita, who he met in a cafe in his hometown, Rocchetta. Together, they built a life they were proud of- having three kids, Julie (Hugh), Remo (Kathy) and John Jr.

John was a beloved grandfather to his three granddaughters, Jenell (Scott), Arianna, and Alexa, and two great-grandchildren, Logan and Eloise.

He is survived by his brother Tony (Joyce) and his sister, Ernestine, who still lives in Italy. He joins his brothers Umberto (Nadia) and Vince (Rina) in eternity.

John was a family man and spent his early life working to build a foundation for his kids and grandkids to build on. As he aged, he spent his days around the kitchen table and next to his family. If you were hungry, he would feed you. Thirsty? Red wine and espresso coming right up. Cheers to our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.

My dear uncle , I remember when you came to Belgium you were worried and you told mom that you hoped that after your disappearance you brothers and sister-in-law that all our children cousins will continue to see and stay in touch to continue the family tradition . They are so far from each other . It's a promise I made to you. I will respect your wish. Have no fear, we are all already one. Beloved forever Your niece Nadia

I have know my uncle john all my life. Even although we lived in different countries our visits back and forth were regular. He was always kind and giving. We often battled and tried to outwhit each other to pay the bill in a restaurant. He was always tricky. Uncle john taught me to swim by throwing me in their pool in Itasca. You will always be in my heart. Love you. Rest in pease.
