John Dilorenzo

John DiLorenzo, age 74, of West Chester, Ohio, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Sunday, December 25, 2016.  He was born Monday, July 6, 1942 in Steubenville, Ohio to Samuel and Amelia (nee Sebastinelli) DiLorenzo.

John worked at Ford Motor Company for over 30 years, retiring as a Supervisor.  He was proud to serve in the Reserves of the US Marine Corps.  Although a labor of love, John could often be found taking care of the yard.  He loved to plan trips which would usually involve traveling to the beach or anywhere it was sunny.  A sports fan, his favorite team was the Steelers.  John's family will miss his animated facial expressions as well as his many one-liners such as, "Read my lips" or "Mark my word".

John was preceded in death by: his parents, Samuel and Amelia DiLorenzo; wife, Shirley (nee Klose) DiLorenzo in 1979; and sisters, Sandra Taylor and Diane DiLorenzo.

John is survived by: his daughters, Shannon (Bert) Rayburn and Jennifer (Daniel) Bauer; life-partner of 26 years, Rhonda Estep; step-daughter, Tara Estep; grandchildren, Jayme Rayburn, Chase Rayburn, Keyton Rayburn, Meadow Rayburn, Dylan Bauer and Jillian Estep; and many loving family members and friends.
