John Joseph Mancuso Sr.

John Joseph Mancuso Sr. went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on December 6, 2019 at the age of 83. Born to Nicolo and Lena Mancuso on October 22, 1936 in New Orleans, La, John was a proud graduate of Holy Cross High School, Tulane University, and also proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. John was a forty year career sales person for Sears Roebuck and Co,

A-1 Appliance, and Paul Piazza Seafood Co.

John was an avid supporter of Archbishop Rummel High School and Tulane University athletics. Nothing gave him more pleasure than attending Rummel and Tulane sporting events and being a sideline coach. He was also a member of the Krewe or Pegasus and the East Jefferson High School Quarterback Club. Throughout his life, you could always find John at Tastee donuts with his coffee club family.

Those that knew him well knew that JJ (as he was known by his grandchildren) never met a stranger. He was always willing to befriend anyone, helping in any way that he could.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Pamela Kytle Mancuso, sons John Mancuso Jr. and Brad Mancuso (wife Chrystan Bordes Mancuso), grandchildren Ava, Kate, and Colin Mancuso, and countless friends which he considered family.

Family and friends are invited to attend the memorial service on Tuesday, December 17, 2019. Visitation will be from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at St. Ann Church and Shrine located at 3601 Transcontinental Dr. Metairie, La 70006. A funeral mass will immediately follow at 11:00 am. Interment will be in All Saints Mausoleum.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations to St. Ann School in the name of his grandchildren Ava, Kate, and Colin Mancuso.
