Obituary of John William Oddo

John William Oddo, 79, of Syracuse, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. Born on June 12, 1945, John is predeceased by parents, Carlo Oddo and Louise (DelFavero) Oddo, his wife of 55 years, Clare (Hoverter) Oddo, and siblings.

John was a mason and electrician by trade. Building and correcting physical and electrical structural issues were not a job for him, as he truly found joy in that work. Outside of those trades, John worked to develop skills in woodworking and carpentry later in life. He was always willing to help anyone he could to solve issues he had skill with and did so unselfishly.

John was certainly moved by the beat. He truly loved dancing and music. John danced competitively as a child (tap), met his wife at a dance (his forever favorite dance partner), and would be the first one to get up and dance at any celebration. But the dance floor was not a prerequisite. John would dance whenever and wherever the music moved him. 

John is survived by his children, Kimberly (Kevin) Wingard, Jennifer Oddo, John Oddo Jr., and many nieces and nephews.

The family would also like to acknowledge those unrelated that were there for him in his greatest time of need. Jeannie, Jacquie, Jenni, Mike and family. There are truly no words to express how much your desire and ability to be there to help us care for dad and you will  be forever in our hearts.
