John Constantine Ratikan

We are sad to announce the passing of John Constantine Ratikan. Johnny found relief after a proper battle with COPD at age 66 on May 14. He was tough as nails with a heart of gold, and will always be with us. 

Born in NYC, He followed his love Charlotte Aufray to Paris. Then found his way to Florida, where the family grew. He was a self taught blues harmonica player, made his living as a painter, loved cycling and fishing. He was known as the master recycler. A true artisan. Integrity, dedication, and loyalty were his driving forces.  

He is survived by his wife Charlotte, son Ivan, daughter Josephine, sister Nina, and brother Walter.
