He worked as the CFO at EastConn for many years. he had a passion for cooking and grilling, so much infact that he would grill in the snow. One of his favorite events was being a part of the chili contest and in honor of him his family will continue the tradition of having an annual chili contest in his memory. He had a zest for life and loved adventures. He planned outings and events for him and his wife months ahead of time. They loved to go to Cape Cod on his Harley, concerts, shows and festivals. He absolutely loved giving gifts and surprising the people in his life. He was one of the most thoughtful and generous people. He loved animals and especially adored his dog, Sasha. Besides his parents, he is survived by his wife of many years, Denise., his children Cheyenne, Johnny Jr., and Samantha Manno, his brother Stephen and his wife Pamela, many nieces, nephews and friends.
