In a moving tribute on Instagram, his daughter, Friends star Jennifer, wrote: "Sweet papa… John Anthony Aniston. You were one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew.
"I am so grateful that you went soaring into the heavens in peace - and without pain. And on 11/11 (Armistice Day and US Veterans' Day) no less! You always had perfect timing.
"That number will forever hold an even greater meaning for me now."
John Aniston was born Yannis Anastassakis in Crete, Greece, and emigrated with his family to Pennsylvania when he was a child.
