John was born on August 27, 1952 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and grew up in Binghamton, NY. He obtained a college education at University of Colorado and University of Dayton, Ohio.

His love of music and his Martin Guitars were paramount. John was a handy man who could fix or make anything. He created beautiful gardens on “The Farrell Farm.” John enjoyed fine dining with his wife, Nadine, traveling to lovely settings, leisurely walks on the beach and spending joyful times with loved ones and family.

He also leaves behind his brothers Stephen (Denise), Patrick (Kathleen), sister Susan (Michael) Cerretani, sisters-in-law Karine Masone and Marlene Hornstein, brother-in-law Bob Masone (Virginia) and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. John was a kind, generous soul with a heart of gold.
