We Say Goodbye to Jack Genetti

by  •  • 5 Comments

Another Genetti cousin has passed on this month. John “Jack” Genetti was just shy of his 100th birthday!

Jack was the grandson of one of the original Genetti brothers who settled in Illinois. A second generation American, Jack was the son of John Baptiste Genetti (1890-1972) and Julia Freida Rolando (1900-1996). He was the grandson of Vigilio Genetti (1852-1932) and Domenica Maria Dolzadelli (1852-1907). Jack’s grandparents made their home in Collinsville, Illinois where many descendants from the Illinois Genetti branch still live today.

Jack had a long, interesting life and his obituary reflects his many interests and charitable endeavors. Our family genealogists will also miss Jack as he provided us on several occasions with valuable historical information about our ancestry. I am sure he will be greatly missed by his large extended family. We send our heartfelt sympathies to Jack’s sisters and many descendants.
