Obituary for John J. Bidinotto Sr. WARREN – John J. Bidinotto Sr., 70, passed away peacefully at 10:20 p.m. on Sunday May 13, 2018 at his residence following an extended illness. He was born in Youngstown, Ohio on February 20, 1948 the son of John Carmen and Mary Frances (Antoun) Bidinotto. He was a 1966 graduate of Mathews High School and honorably served in the United States Army.
After a near fatal accident to his young father, John (the oldest son) became the “fatherly figure” working at an early age to help support the Bidinotto family in Fowler. He retired in 1994 after working 30 years as a assembler and driver at General Motors in Lordstown. John was an original thinker and received two monetary awards while at General Motors for “inventions” which increased efficiency and production on the assembly line related to window installation.
To everyone, he was intuitive and had a keen awareness on how to improve on something and was meticulous in his work. After his retirement, he became a “jack of all trades”. He was a welder, sealed driveways, installed windows and did various electrical jobs.
He was a member of the former St. Vincent dePaul Parish in Vienna and enjoyed the love of a big family and Sunday gatherings with his many aunts, uncles and cousins. John loved racing cars in his youth, camping and hunting in Montana, Pennsylvania and Ohio, was a very talented golfer and enjoyed fishing especially with his nephew, Chase. He and Carol loved spending winters in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where John met his good friend “Russ”.
John was a good cook and each year he would treat the condo staff to his famous homemade lasagna. John is survived by his wife and long time friend Carol (Hurst) Bidinotto whom he married on May 4, 2016; a daughter, Stephanie Lynn Bidinotto Shelko; son, John Joseph Bidinotto Jr.; two granddaughters, Kayla, Emily; great-granddaughter, Harley; three sisters, Rebecca Bidinotto and Mike Piskura, Jenny (Jeff) Laslow, Loretta Ecklund; two brothers, David (Mary) Bidinotto, Andrew (Julianne) Bidinotto; half brother, Bill Bidinotto; half sister, Linda (Bob) Davis; two step-sons, Charles (Kim) Jayne, Steven (Jen) Jayne.
