John Forcucci, 63 of Elyria, OH, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 7, 2023. He was born January 19, 1960 in Niagara Falls, NY.
Most of his life he spent as a hotel manager. He was a big fan of the New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, and the Cleveland Indians. John loved old music, especially Frank Sinatra and Big Band, classic motion pictures – the oldies, and classic cars. He also enjoyed gardening as well as cooking traditional Italian recipes, many of which he learned from his family. The continuing theme in John’s life is being very traditional in everything.
