On Thursday May 14 th, Juan Ramon Lizardi, loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandpa, stepfather, uncle, and great grandpa, passed away peacefully after a long battle with many medical issues.
Juan was born on Valentine’s Day, 1942 in Caguas, Puerto Rico. A military veteran, he spent most of his adult life working at Hamilton Standard. He retired in 2004 to spend time with his beloved wife Judy, enjoying their home and garden in Pelham, riding their motorcycles and being with their families.
Cancer and family tragedy derailed those plans, but Juan never showed his pain. To his family he was a pillar of strength and comfort. He meant the world to those he left behind. We will miss his stories, his deep voice, his home-made hot sauce, his warm smile, and his hugs.
Juan was preceded in death by his two oldest sons, Luis and Dario. He is survived by his wife Judy, sons John and Jason, daughter Anita, stepdaughters Jennifer and Betsy, and a large extended family who loved him dearly.
Funeral services will be announced to friends and family soon. Messages for the memorial to be held later in the year should be sent to jrl214memorial@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers or cards, we ask that you make a donation in Juan’s name to Hospice Care & Palliative Care of Massachusetts https://www.hospicefed.org/donations/?DONATIONS=2024017
