January 22, 1950 – June 24, 2020
John Joseph DiPiro Jr., 70, Noblesville, formerly of Elkhart, died peacefully on June 24, 2020 at home after a long battle with cancer. He was born on January 22, 1950 to John and Jannette (Lefevre) DiPiro in New Bedford, Mass.
John was a well-loved husband, dad, papa, friend and coach. He proudly served in the United States Marines. He was always ready to talk movies with his customers at Video Visions, the video store he owned and operated for 30 years. John was a Notre Dame Hockey season ticket holder and he made countless road trips to watch them play around the country with his family and friends. He loved watching and talking sports especially the Philadelphia Flyers, Atlanta Braves, or New England Patriots. John was a 1968 graduate of Marian High School and was a parishioner at Sacred Heart in Cicero after being a member of St. Thomas the Apostle in Elkhart for many years. He was a kind and loving man that will be greatly missed by those who were lucky enough to know him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Barbara DiPiro.
