We had hoped that our first post of the New Year to the Peconic Party Project would be about the exciting celebrations the following year will bring, but sadly, the North Fork community now mourns the death of John Romanelli, a North Fork icon, president of Burt’s Reliable, former Southold Town councilman, and most importantly a beloved husband, father, brother and son. John was seriously burned in a freak accident on December 30, 2011, and succumbed to his injuries in the early morning hours of Tuesday, January 3, 2012.
John and his company were not directly related to North Fork Weddings.com, but since we are a locals who operate a local North Fork service, we knew John in his role as a businessman, Town councilman and respected and loved member of our hometown. John was quick with a joke, a friendly smile and a helping hand. He may never have known the impression he made on so many, but we are all better for having known him.
We now extend our deepest sympathies to John’s family. We hope they are able to find peace and solace in remembering the good man that he was.
The North Fork will miss you John Romanelli. May you rest in peace.
