John H. Benedetto was called to his eternal home on April 5, 2018. John is pre-deceased by his loving wife Theresa, and also pre-deceased by his parents Joseph & Mary Benedetto. John is survived by his daughter Beth, her husband Bob, and his much-loved grandson Danny, as well as his daughter Lori & granddaughter Jen. John also leaves behind two younger brothers Joe (Ann), and Donald (Ernie) and many dear cousins, nieces & nephews.

John had several jobs over the course of his 88 years, but his most rewarding job came later in life as a school bus driver. He truly enjoyed being with the kids he drove and was very well respected and loved by both the children and their parents.

Anyone who knows John, knows that in addition to the deep love he had for his family, he also had a passion for singing, the NY Yankees, and his country! They brought him a tremendous amount of joy throughout his life. His singing brought others joy too!!

In his younger days, he entertained in night-clubs, and made appearances on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour, both the radio and TV show. Up until last year when he got ill, he performed annually at the Golden Harvest Senior Show at the Westchester County Center where he was always a HUGE hit!

John proudly served 3 years in the US Army, stationed in Japan, and received an honorable discharge after his time served. He was an extremely patriotic person, whose love for his country ran deep.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made in John's name to:
