John Carriero, born July 15, 1954 at United Hospital in Port Chester NY, passed away peacefully at Greenwich Hospital on June 29, 2025. John was the son of Angelo “Sharp” Carriero and Catherine Carino Carriero.
John lived his entire life in his family home on Pemberwick Road, which truly was his Happy Valley. His favorite memories were made at Pemberwick Park, uniquely pitching both lefty and righty on Pemberwick baseball teams.
John worked in his early years at Vaccaro’s Supermarket in Port Chester, as well as working for several local sanitation refuse companies.
John endured 5 decades of kidney complications and was fortunate and forever thankful when after 9 years of dialysis, he received a kidney transplant 8 years ago. John enjoyed fishing and 1960’s music, and was a devoted and knowledgeable Yankee fan.
John was predeceased by his parents and by his brother Paul Carriero (Gerry) and their baby Scott. He is survived by his sister Linda Ross (Joe) of Riverside and his sister Cathy Carriero (Tom) of Greenwich. He is also survived by his niece Lisa Kramer and five nephews, Adam and Dan Ross, Michael and Tim Carriero and Lucas Gazianis. In addition, he is lovingly survived by his dear cousin Marie Cofone as well as 40 other first cousins, and 11 grand nieces and nephews.
To honor his life, family and friends will gather on Thursday, July 3 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm at Coxe & Graziano Funeral Home, 134 Hamilton Avenue, Greenwich, with a prayer service held at 12:00pm.
Interment will follow at Putnam Cemetery, Greenwich. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor John’s memory may make a donation to the National Kidney Foundation: www.kidney.org.
