John A. Tomassetti

Here is a drawing of my late grandfather, John A. Tomassetti.

His funeral was Friday April 4, 2008 in Wooster, Ohio.
This drawing was done in Tokyo, Nov. 3, 1946.
That was over a year after my dad, Dominic John Anthony (little Junie), was born to John and Elizabeth Tomassetti on April 11, 1945.
My grandfather (pictured here) was born April 6, 1924, in Wooster, Ohio. His parents were Dominic and Elvira (Iannarelli) Tomassetti.

I say all this simply as a memorial to my late grandfather. I want to honor him here today.

My brother, Lee, read Ephesians 2:4-10 at the funeral, please read it again and trust in Jesus Christ alone as your ticket to heaven:
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
