Some of our memories of John are: John worked hard and played hard, was ambitious, was an over achiever, was humorous and most of all a great friend through the years. We will miss John very much.

Dear Linda,
The loss of Mr Torchia came so suddenly that it took time to believe. Though so many years have gone by, the memories in KSN refresh from time to time. There you and Mr Torchia shared so much love and knowledge for us. He led the facilities team to work for excellence and brought us fatherly encouragements which lighted the way thereafter. We will miss him forever and wish you comfort with the loss. We all love you.

John left us suddenly. He was my best friend and adopted brother. I have known him for 50 plus years and will miss him dearly!
We had a lot of adventures together! Our most memorable was China.
Did you know John did not eat vegetables until China. He fell in love with them - he would smack his lips and say " YUMMY".
He and Linda touched a lot of folks hearts in China. And were loved by the folks.
I wish Linda comfort as she deals with our loss. John wants you to stay strong and keep talking with him. He will be with us always!!
Look ya and until we meet again, Jack

John is a great leader and an honorable person. He had spent about 15 years in China since 1997 building plants and developing people. His contribution to the local community and friendship to his teams/friends in China are very much appreciated and unforgettable. John’s leaving is a great loss to us. We will miss John very much.
