John was born on April 26,1964 in Auburn, to John and Anna (Greco) Elice and was the only son. He was a proud graduate of Auburn High School class of 1982. On September 24th,1993 John married the love of his life Carolynn (Wyant) Elice. They were married 29 years and would have been 30 years this month. John was a long-time employee of Welch Allyn, working there 36 years (roughly 20 years or so in the lamp department alone,) before his illness brought him home to fight. John was a recent but proud member of Auburn’s very own CIAO Club. His other hobbies included working on cars, electronics, and spending time with his loved ones, especially on family adventures and vacations.
