Passed away on October 2, 2024, at age 66 in Rochester, NY.
Predeceased by his parents, John & Anne Andolina.
He leaves behind his daughters, Breanna (Ian) Stanford & Mandee (Ira) Thomas; and their mother, Teri Andolina; his beloved granddaughters, Evangeline & Delaney Stanford; numerous other family and friends.
John was a lover of all things antique. He was well known for his skills in repairing phonographs and radios, and the delight it brought him to restore sounds of the past for all to enjoy. He could often be found working on his various cars over the years, the most treasured of which was his 1977 Monte Carlo.
He was a wealth of knowledge when it came to music from all eras; able to immediately identify the artist, chart position statistics, and interesting facts about almost any song he heard. His favorite band was 60's group, The Association.
John was a devoted employee of Century Mold for over 25 years, where he was an EDM operator. Later in life, he enjoyed working as a bus driver for the Gates-Chili Central School District.
