Dear Christina, I learned today of Vito’s passing. Very sad news and I am sorry for your loss. Vito and I developed good friendship while at AJT and beyond. I lost contact with him after I left AJT. I am sad to hear of his passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Dear Carolyn and family: Please accept our deepest sympathy. John was one of my best friends. We worked together for many many years at Valley American Bank. John was instrumental in helping grow the bank to a major bank in Northern Indiana. We had many wonderful times including fun trips to Europe. We will cherish the wonderful memories. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,

It is with a heavy heart, that we learn of John's death.
Condolences from us to Carolyn and Robin. John was a true friend and a companion at work. We had fun at work and fun in our get togethers. Remember our trips together at Miami, Cleveland, Nappanee and elsewhere, what fun. Also, the bank parties and get togethers were a delight for us all.

Carolyn, I am so very sad to hear of John’s passing. When he hired me at Southeast Bank , I was a young wife, mother and new college graduate. Over 42 years in the banking industry if anyone ask who was my most influential mentor I would say….John Ronchetti! A great friend and leader. You and John were a great positive influence for both Dave and I. I will always remember his booming voice….anytime I have been at the Chart House….I listened for it! Praying that God wraps his arms around you and your family and gives you comfort.

Christina and family, I am so sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Vito. A truly great man, friend and trusted manager. I am glad that he was serving the Lord through the Church and KofC as I don't know that he would ever stop serving and working for something. I will remember always his kind spirit, energy and willingness to get things done as well as his love for his family. We miss you Vito.

Carolyn I’m not sure if you even remember me and my late husband, Pete. Our relationship mostly through our shared friendship with Bob and Marilyn Wentz, but also with your counseling of a few of our kids at Penn. I was very sorry to hear of John’s passing. He was a nice guy and you were a good couple, an example of what a good marriage is. My condolences to your and your daughter and to your’s and John’s extended families.

Sharon and I were sorry to hear about John. John and I grew up in the same neighborhood. He and Sharon were in the same class at Mishawaka high school and confirmation class at St. Peters Lutheran church. He was always easy to talk to....a truly good person. We offer our condolence.
