DANBURY, CT — John A. Quattrocchi, 71, passed away on Friday, SepT. 21 at Danbury Hospital after a courageous twenty year battle with Multiple Sclerosis.

He was born on Jan. 7th, 1947 in Danbury. He attended St. Peter's School and graduated from Danbury High School. He was a hard worker, quadrupling the size of his paper route as a boy. He worked in several grocery stores starting at the age of sixteen. His longest stint was at Finast, formerly on Main Street.

John's greatest love was music. He had a golden voice singing in the St. Peter's Boys Choir. He was an amazing soloist and attended practice before school started every morning. As an adult, he sang in the choir at St. Joseph's Church in Brookfield. He was trained as an excellent cantor. Singing was his joy.

John was predeceased by his loving mother, Winifred Manton and his step-father, William Manton. He is survived by his sister, Patricia Reiss, his step-brother Bill Manton and his step-sister, Mary Jane Connors. He also leaves two nieces Anne-Marie Balogh and Claire Rentz (Allan), one nephew Robb Balogh and two grand-nephews, Alex Miloscia and Michael Rentz.
