John's Story

Lost my wife Suki after 43 years to cancer. We had become duel citizens of the U.S. and Italy. We had planned on getting a home in Southern Italy 🇮🇹. And while fighting cancer Suki told me to be sure and follow up with our dream. Two years after Suki traveled to Heaven I moved to Italy and bought an olive and almond farm with a small vineyard and many other fruit trees. Recently I bought the neighboring farm. Making extra virgin olive oil, limoncello, wine and Roasted almonds. Getting ready to add some babydoll sheep, miniature donkey, and miniature Scotland Highland cows. Found and married an amazing Irish ☘️ lady, Bernadette Jolie Mead. I call her Jolie and she is living this adventure with me. We have 20 grandchildren with more to come 😀. My life has been an amazing adventure as I have been blessed with 4 amazing daughters, and two incredible and beautiful wives that have traveled the world with me. The loss of my wife Suki to cancer seemed unbearable, but my daughters and friends rallied around me, and God ...Expand for more
lifted back up. Meeting Jolie and moving to Italy 🇮🇹 was an amazing gift from God. Finding our farms, so many friends from Italy and around Europe, and becoming a farmer here in Italy is icing on the cake of my life. My family has three mottoes, they were always on my refrigerator and now all my children have it on their refrigerators. The three mottoes are, “Dream so big that you are doomed to fail without Christ “, “Memories over Stuff “, and “Take Risk and Trust God”. I have lived my life trying to follow those three principles and God has given me a great adventure that still continues. To all my St. Peter’s alumni, Take Risk and Trust God!!!! Ciao John, or as I am called here in Italy Giovanni. P. S. Heading to Vienna and Salzburg Austria next week to see the Christmas Markets drink coffee in the Vienna cafe where the unification of Italy was planned and sing Doe Ray Me on the steps of the Von Trapp family home in Salzburg overlooking the Alps. Life is an adventure from God, make sure you are living yours.
