God bless the family of John Impellizeri. I worked with John early in my career at Central Trade Plant. He mentored me with his wisdom and advice. But I will never forget his unique sense of humor and his homemade BLT sandwiches (without the B and the L) for lunch. Kevin Wells.

Dear Impellizzeri Family: John was such a help when Dan and I purchased Ideal Printing Company back in 1984. We treasured him as an employee. He was also quite the kidder and was known to tease everyone, especially new customer service people. He always talked about his kids and was proud of his family. We are so glad to have known him.
