John Grisetti passed away peacefully at LifeCare Hospice on December 2 surrounded by his loving family.
John was born to Italian immigrants John, Sr., and Columba Grisetti in 1929 in Wooster, Ohio.

He was grandfather to seven and great-grandfather to 14 children.
For more than 40 years, John worked as a bricklayer. He also served for more than a decade as everyone’s favorite bartender at Lamplighters Social Club and even ran his own business, Lee’s Inn of Lakeville. He truly loved his family and will be missed very much.
