John loved pizza, he would eat it every day if he could.
Celine Dion and Josh Groban were a couple of his favorite artists.
John Charles Busalacchi, 84, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2026, in Gilbert, Arizona. Born on July 9, 1942, John lived a full and meaningful life marked by kindness and generosity.
