Final rites were held last Saturday for John "Jack" J. Vizzolini who died early Thursday after a long illness. He was 62.
A native of Pleasanton, he moved with his family to Westley in 1941 when his father Joe purchased the Westley Market.

sold in 1977. He also is a former owner of the Westley Hotel, which he purchased in 1974. He served as Westley*s
