It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mr. John Bruzzese on April 3, 2022, at TBRHSC. Born August 30, 1951, John worked for the CNR as a yardman from the time he graduated high school until his retirement.
John was a kind, gentle soul, even though his gruff exterior made you think otherwise. But for those that knew Big John, Uncle John, or Johnny Rocco he was a pussycat.
John will be lovingly remembered by his siblings; Jim (Barb Thomas-Bruzzese), Debbie (Bill Maki), Rosalie (Guy Archambault) and Mark (Bev Peterson-Bruzzese), Nieces & Nephews; Christopher, Carolyn, Michael, Michelle, Julia, Samantha, Danielle, and Marc-Andre, numerous Grand Nieces & Nephews, family members and friends.
John was predeceased by his parents Luigi and Ruby Bruzzese and various other family members
Funeral services and Interment will take place at a later date when the whole family comes together to celebrate John’s life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation – Our Hearts at Home Cardiovascular Campaign. On-line condolences may be made at www.sargentandson.com.
