de Prisco, John Julian Died on September 3, 2009 at the age of 69. He will be remembered as a dedicated father, raising children John, Anthony, Marie, Gregory, and Nicole; a compassionate brother, providing long term care for his kind sister Carol Faith; and a devoted grandfather, survived by Anthony Jr., Petra, Nicholas, Robert, and Trinity. He loved always his once wife Marie Tozar. Born in Delaware and long time resident of Philadelphia, he is preceded in death by his father Peter, mother Marie, aunt Pat, sister Carol, and son John. A Texan by choice, he brought his roofing craftsmanship to Dallas in 1981. At times misunderstood, his compassion, humor, and flare for the eccentric defined his life. If you ever met him, you couldn't forget him. He requested no service, preferring those who knew him remember him as he was in life. A gathering of family and friends will be held September 19, 2009. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children. To quote a truly great man: "Ever forward!" North Dallas Funeral Home972-241-9100
