John S. Polito

John Stephen Polito "The Wing King" of Port Charlotte passed away Sunday, May 15, 2011 at the young age of 61, due to complications of a stroke. He was surrounded by his loving family and friends. He was an electrician for 33 years, and was known as one of the best in Charlotte County. John was a simple man who enjoyed "living on the porch," cooking chicken wings and watching NASCAR; he was an avid Earnhardt fan. He could have well been a meteorologist because he was just as passionate about the weather as he was racing. John will be greatly missed by his beloved wife, Evelyn "Evie;" son, Jason (Christy); daughters, Heather, Kelli, and Kristy; precious grandsons whom he loved more than life, Jason, Jr., Brandon, and Aaron; father, Frank Polito; brother, Robert (Margaret) Polito; sister, Carolann (Quint) Napoleon; niece, Michelle (Chris) Samios; nephew, Adam Napoleon; and beloved dog, Chase. He was preceded in death by his brother, Thomas Polito, and mother, Harriet Polito. The service in celebration of John's life will be at 1:00 pm Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Larry Taylor Funeral and Cremation Services.
