    John was, and always will be, one of my best friends. We met in 9th grade, then went on to have a ton of great adventures together. He was always a great person, and always fun to hang out with. I’ll miss him like a brother. God bless John Acito forever!

    I still see the quiet but silly you of long ago. Your tenderness and humor always winning anyone over. Ma and pa surely have you in their loving arms and that is the best comfort and I am sure Gary gave you a brotherly punch. The family and all that knew you are broken but fly free old friend, we will meet again one day❤️❤️

    John was the best, always had an ear to lend at anytime. I will miss our chats so much. He meant a lot to me for many years. He was an awesome individual.

    I’ll always remember John as a sweetheart of a man . Kind and soft spoken. A cousin to my husband.
    John was a bright star in the Acito family lineup and will be terribly missed.

    Cherishing the memories of your singing silly made-up songs to the kids when they were little, feeding snackers to the furry people, quiet bemusement at Jo’s irrepressible extraversion, on-point witticisms, and midnight Garbage. Love you.
