Following his service, he successfully dedicated his career to the steel industry.  Guided by a deep belief in self-reliance and a fierce entrepreneurial spirit, John took pride in building success on his own terms.  Away from work, John found peace and contentment at his farmhouse in Upstate New York, a cherished retreat where he was always happily engaged in his latest project and cultivating the simple life that brought him great joy.

​John's greatest legacy is his loving family, which he built with Cynthia Sferruzza, the mother of his three children. He was a cherished father to Cher and her husband, Gerald O'Malley; Elizabeth Cook; and Anthony Sferruzza and his wife, Ana.

​He was most profoundly a beloved grandfather to Maris, Dylan, Analia, and Isabella. His unconditional love and pride in his grandchildren brought immeasurable joy to his life.
