Born and raised in the industrious city of Brooklyn, New York, John Rosatti was brought up in aloving, traditional Italian family. Reared by his father Edward John Rosatti, a city worker, and hismother Angeline, a seamstress, Rosatti lived with his parents and older sister Dorothy in a small,basement apartment. From early on, Rosatti was seen as intelligent, attentive, and had a smile thateven today delights anyone who is around him. Growing up with strong familial ties to their Italiancommunity, the two Rosatti children attended the customary Catholic schools and attended Mass on aregular basis. Family dinners were a vital part of their young lives, which always included spendingtime with extended family members, as well as close friends from within their tight-knit community.Rosatti took great personal pride and admiration in his paternal grandfather, John Adam Bassett, whowas a decorated U.S. Naval Officer. Bassett, who changed his last name from Rosatti to avoid unjustwork discrimination toward people of Italian descent, played a vital role in fighting off the enemyduring WWII in 1944. His heroics are documented by Alfred B. Stanford in the book, “ForceMulberry: The Planning and Installation of the Artificial Harbor of U.S. Normandy Beaches inWWII” (Whitehead Press). Bassett received the Bronze Star for efficient expeditions and accurateplacing of block ships and concrete caissons, while under constant enemy fire off the coast of France.Rosatti’s father and grandfather instilled in him a strong work ethic, and from the early age of 11years old, he entered the work force delivering meats in the neighborhood via his bicycle. He acquiredhis mechanical skills by helping his father work on boats at the local docks, which eventually led himto use those same skills to venture into the automobile industry. What began with stints driving a dumptruck and then a cab for a small car service, developed into a full-fledged career. With his first wifeJoann by his side, whom he married at the young age of 21, he began to learn the intricate details ofrunning a car dealership. Through hard work and a keen eye for opportunity, Rosatti purchased anOldsmobile dealership in Flatbush in 1978.
