John Joseph Salvato


John Joseph Salvato 53, of Somerville passed away April 13, 2021.

John was born December 18, 1967 in Somerville where he attended high school and remained
a life-long resident.

John’s passion was expressed with impeccable detailing of cars and his specialized

The booming of his favorite music, Classic Vinyl/Tracks could always be heard in the background.
John was referred to many as Jay, JJ and Jay Bird.
He was loved by many, and had a crazy personality that will be greatly missed.

John is survived by his siblings Chris (Spanky) Salvato of Woburn, Danny Salvato of Stoneham, Patrick,
Kenny and Maria Salvato of Somerville. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.
John is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Florence Salvato.

    We had some really good times, we had some bad times. You were on of a kind. We all brushed off the bad times because the good times came again.

    The best time was that ride in the limo, You, Betty and I. I will remember and treasure that day. You never left me aside. You always included me when it came to the three of us going out.

    Rest in peace Jay. Dianne xoxo
