John Richard Nardecchia

John Richard Nardecchia, age 85, of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, passed away on September 9, 2026.

John was born on November 5, 1940, to Orlando and Agatha Nardecchia. He retired from General Motors after many years of dedicated service. In retirement, he enjoyed golfing and spending time with the people he loved most. Some of his favorite memories were made around the table during Tuesday Pizza Nights with his grandchildren. He was also famous for his chocolate pudding, and no child was ever far from a stash of candy or snacks when he was around.

John had a wonderful sense of humor and was especially well known for his horrible dad and grandpa jokes. He loved making his grandchildren laugh and sharing those jokes with his siblings, who knew better than anyone how to appreciate his unique sense of humor. He knew every lyric to every song and loved going to the gym.

Above all, John loved his family deeply. His kindness, laughter, generosity, and love will be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a lifetime of memories filled with family gatherings, laughter, golf, pizza nights, sweet treats, and countless unforgettable jokes.

John will be dearly missed, but his love and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family and friends.
