Born in Argentina, Juan Carlos lived a life centered on family, love, and giving. His greatest joy was being with his loved ones—especially his grandchildren: Giancarlo, Gianna, Gloria, Gemma, and Amelia. He took immense pride in his role as a grandfather, finding pure happiness in their laughter, milestones, and the bond they shared.
Juan Carlos was married for 38 years to Joanne, the love of his life. Together, they built a strong, supportive partnership, raising wonderful sons, Giancarlo, Roberto and Nicolas . His love for Joanne and his children was immeasurable, and he was a constant source of guidance and strength to his family. His greatest legacy will be the love and values he instilled in them.
Juan Carlos was a man of integrity and generosity, always ready to help others in any way he could. He served his country proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps, where his dedication to duty was evident. However, it was his devotion to his family that truly defined him. Whether watching old movies, cheering on his favorite sports teams, or simply enjoying quiet moments with those he loved, Juan Carlos always made time for the people who mattered most to him.
He is survived by his wife, Joanne, his sons; Giancarlos(Lisa)and Nicolas(Sarah), his grandchildren; Giancarlo, Gianna, Gloria, Gemma, and Amelia, his siblings; Jorge Osma, Santiago Osma, Catherine Nigra, a host of extended family and friends who will forever cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his mother and father Gloria and Carlos.
Juan Carlos will be dearly missed, but his love, his legacy, and his unwavering devotion to his family will continue to inspire and guide all who knew him.
