John Cain

JOHN CAIN His Life Story On May 31, 2023, with wife by his bedside, John was called on by his lord and savior. His final days were spent with sharing favorite photos and making sure his house was in order which emphasized feeding the cat, fish, and plants. John was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 14, 1968, to Martina Cain and the late John L. Howell Jr. John was the only child to Martina Cain. He is now reunited in the presence of The Lord with his father. John was blessed in life with nineteen other siblings from his father. John was famously known as “Johnny” to family members and “JC” growing up in South Philly. John received his education in the Philadelphia public school system, where he attended Bok Vocational High School and earned some college credits at Peirce College. Trying to figure out the right career path, John enlisted into the United States Army and later received an entry-level separation (ELS) in 1989. Fortunately, John found something he enjoyed doing at Frank’s Seafood. John worked at Frank’s as a cook for 10 years, Super fresh as a seafood clerk for 6 years, and Fernwood Mens Shelter as a Program Supervisor for 17 years. John was the first black board member at Frankford Boy’s Club in 2001. He also joined the Board of Directors at Max Myers Recreational Center and coached girls’ basketball in 2003.  John was a very active community leader and contributor. He coached multiple sports from 2001 – 2009. John was a compassionate couch that went above and beyond for players. John made sure kids had appropriate playing shoes to wear even if he had to buy them. He never turned anyone away. His love for sports as a child motivated him to be a great and successful mentor for children. John was an ambitious individual who achieved a lot of things in his life. John was very excited when he received his governor’s pardon in 2021, which led him to pursue his license to carry firearms in 2022. Hence, John played and danced to his favorite song “license to kill” by Gladys Knight after getting his picture ID. Then, John purchased his first home in 2022. Above all, John managed to get his son's student loan discharged before he died. Nevertheless, he left his wife with getting his credit repaired. John enjoyed collecting coins, knives, beer signs, sports jerseys, and globes. His favorite place to eat was the Chinese buffet and vacation spot was Cancun, Mexico. John was known for making exceptional seafood salads. He loved to cook these distinctive dishes for his family and friends at every events. John liked watching YouTube videos, listening to music, smoking cigarettes in his man cave. John was notorious for not answering his phone and not returning calls like people wanted him to… Therefore, you had to call his wife to get to him. John had a charismatic personality that made it easy for people to engage. Above all, he was a devoted husband, loving son, wonderful father, and grandpop who loved spending time with his grandkids. John’s life was cherished by many. He leaves to mourn: his three children, Brandon Cain, John Cain and Anitra Cain; God Daughter, Kyndra Patterson; Daughter-in-law, Marshaa Cain Grandchildren, Michaela Cain, Matthew Cain, Mila Cain, Gabriel Williams, Mia’Nicole Cain, and Brandon Cain Jr.; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and best friend Louis Patterson.

The youngest of eight children, Dolores grew up in the Greater Kensington area, attending Stetson Junior High, followed by Kensington High School where she was shortstop for the Varsity softball team and spent 1 semester assisting at the millinery shop of Lit Brothers. After a “meet-cute” encounter at her local luncheonette, she would go on to marry Faust Alessio from the Frankford neighborhood and together they ran their own luncheonette and pizzeria in Tioga for almost 30 years. Tiny’s was a beloved neighborhood spot, where many of our loved ones met their spouses, growing our extended family and thereby the wonderful family memories as well. Losing her beloved husband in 1978, Dolores continued to run the business they’d built together for a time, later choosing a better life balance for her children and herself. Belts tightened, she forged on to overcome each challenge as it presented itself, making sacrifices along the way to provide all she could to her loved ones. She was a true living role model for her family. Dolores was an active member of her congregation at Mater Dolorosa R.C. Church, before its closure, but her most proud accomplishments are centered in her unending love and support of her family, immediate & extended alike, as well as friends & neighbors. Whether it be teaching a child to throw a ball, helping someone getting to and from a doctor’s appointment, or simply supporting a loved one at any life event (large or small), there was little she could find more joyful than being of use to someone else. Dolores is preceded in death by her husband, Faust, son Christopher, daughter Maria, beloved Brenna, her siblings: Joseph, Frank, Cecilia, Jack, Gus (Catherine), Margaret, and Leonard, her In-laws: Rose (Frank), Gilda (Tony), Silvio (Joan), Olivio (known to many as Sam), and Babe as well as too many beloved nieces & nephews whom she and the family lost much too soon. Dolores is survived by her daughter Theresa, Daughter-in-law Toni, grandchildren Michael (Danielle), Christina, Stephanie, Great-grandchildren Austin and Lucas, Sister-in-law Evelyn, as well as many beloved nieces & nephews, great-nieces & nephews, and great-great nieces & nephews.
