Lovingly remembered by all that knew him, John M. Vanacore of Milford, CT was granted his angel wings on Monday, March 27, 2017. John passed doing what he loved and touched so many in his very memorable life. It is rare that you encounter a person who touches the heart of everyone around them and whose warmth radiates and brings out the best in them. John is survived by his brother and best friend Ralph Vanacore, whom he loved with his whole heart. The two were inseparable and he would not have had it any other way! He was predeceased by his mother Lillian Attardo Vanacore and his father John Vanacore. John worked in the telecommunications industry for 34 years and loved every minute of it. He had a passion and cared for his customers in a way that was truly inspiring. John had a love for travel and had many adventures with his brother by his side. While his life was cut short, John lived every moment of it to the fullest. To leave a mark on this world is incredible, but to leave a mark on so many is a blessing and that is what John was. To quote John's favorite musician, Karen Carpenter, "Something in the wind has learned my name and it's telling me that things are not the same." .
