John Bernard Mangini - suddenly at his home on May 3, 2017. Aged 58 years.

A big guy with a big heart, "Johnny Lips" would do anything for anyone. Beneath his guarded exterior was a Teddy Bear of a man, full of love and kindness. He was the type to get along with anyone and made friends easily (as long as you didn't mess with him!).

John loved sports and followed Boxing, Wrestling, The Dolphins but most passionately the Flyers. The most important thing in his life was his family and his grandchildren were the apple of his eye.
