Tragic, Untimely Death: John Romanelli, Friend Of The Shul,

Our website  joins the membership and friends of Congregation Tifereth Israel in mourning the tragic and untimely death of our friend, John Romanelli, age 47. John, a founding partner of Burt's Reliable, was injured on the job in an oil combustion accident in which he received severe burns to more than 60 percent of his body. He died of his injuries on Tuesday, Jan. 3. We express heartfelt condolences to his wife, Heather, their children, and the entire Romanelli family.

In 2008, John and Heather Romanelli were named the synagogue's Citizens of the Year for their outstanding work on behalf of the North Fork communities. Reprinted below are the opening paragraphs of the biography that appeared in the 2008 journal, documenting the onset of a strong business/personal relationship.

"I remember the first time I saw the inside of the temple on Fourth Street," John Romanelli was saying recently. "Sy Brittman took me all through the building, and when we went into the sanctuary part, it was like stepping back in time. I could feel the history in there, and I knew right away that this was a special place."
That first visit to Congregation Tifereth Israel 's historic structure, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was the beginning of a business relationship between John Romanelli and the synagogue, and a personal relationship with a number of its members, who know John as a trustworthy citizen and a personal friend.
For their many contributions to North Fork life, Congregation Tifereth Israel's Board of Directors and the Journal Dinner-Dance Co-chairmen have named John Romanelli and his wife, Heather, as Citizens of the Year.
