DiMartini, John Quirino Age 48, of Bethel Park, unexpectedly, yet faithfully departed on Saturday, September 27, 2014.

He was a phenomenal chef to those lucky enough to have sat at his generous table.

Dear Lori,
I started working with John here at Heinz Field and I am very shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. The first day I met him he has the biggest smile on his face and it never seem to leave! He greeted me everyday with the same smile and energy that he put into everything he did. I was greatly looking forward to moving out of our warehouse and up to Chef's kitchen to be his purchasing manager and working side by side with him daily, and learning from him! I had only known him for a few months but he made an impact on me that will last for the rest of my life! He wil not be forgotten.
With Deepest Sympathy,

I'm so sorry to hear about John. I worked with him at the Sheraton Chicago. He used to call me by my first/last name "Hey, Billy Baran" and did it with his signature Smile. He's a great man and leaves behind many loved ones and great friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to the DiMartini family. God Bless!
Sincerely,

Dear Lori-
I had the privledge of working with John for several years, he was so kind hearted and an amazing Exec. Chef. I kept in touch with John after he left the Sheraton and visited him at Miller Park in Milwaukee several times. His sense of humor put a smile on my face all the time- my heart was truly saddened when I heard about his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God has taken a fine man and heaven has opened it doors to John.
