John A. Pariani

Died March 23, 2017 at his home in Sonoma, CA. John was born January 31, 1932 in San Francisco, CA to Amedeo and Mary Pariani. John could accomplish anything he set his mind to do. At a very early age, he would build and repair many different types of mechanical devices, which led to a career as a Mechanical Engineer. John served in the United States Air Force, but was honorably discharged due to a serious injury, just before he could complete his dream of becoming a jet fighter pilot. That did not stop John from learning how to fly and at one time owning a plane. He worked many years in San Francisco as a Plant Manager, in food manufacturing, until he retired in 1991, when he and his wife, Dorothy, moved to Sonoma, CA. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, and will be missed by his family. At his request, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his name to Pets Lifeline in Sonoma, CA ( http://www.petslifeline.org ).
