    John Grigore

    October 17, 1926 - February 8, 2022

    John Grigore passed away peacefully at the Rosary Care Center on February 8, 2022. He was born October 17, 1926 and spent his childhood on Emery Street in Toledo. The rail yard was behind his house and inspired a lifelong love of trains. One of his first jobs was as an apprentice electrician for Norfolk Southern Railway. He served with the Army Air Corps in WWII, servicing airplanes. John found his future wife, Lena DiTerlizzi, blocks away from his childhood home. Lena and John married and settled in west Toledo, raising their two children, John and Lucille. Dad felt fortunate to have a 40 year career with General Mills at the plant on Laskey Rd. How could he have known that Betty Crocker would enter his retirement years as well? The last four years of his long life were spent at Rosary Care Center under the outstanding care of the staff and Sisters of St. Francis. John really loved the people at Rosary Care and his favorite time was spent with the activities ladies: Betty Crocker, Sherry and Bonnie. He also loved all of his floor nurses and care staff, especially Jeanie who made him feel welcome at his new residence. John formed strong bonds with so many of the staff and truly spent happy years at Rosary Care. We are grateful for all they did for him. He truly lived his best life at Rosary Care. Tributes in John's honor can be sent to Nature's Nursery or the Sisters of St Francis Sylvania. Coyle Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
