Mr. and Mrs. Mainiero were the most influential people in my life, next to my parents. He taught me numerous things that I find useful each day. They are summarized by a simple phrase: Do the right thing. He will be missed but his message lives with me constantly. Best wishes from my family to his.

My condolences to the Mainiero family. I have many memories of Mr. Mainiero at People's Bank. He was the most thoughtful CEO that ever entered the doors of People's Bank. He treated everyone with respect and always visited all departments. I know you will miss him, but you have wonderful memories.

I was Mr Mainiero's Hospice Nurse and loved serving he and his wonderful family. I loved working so closely with his wonderful caregivers and could see the love they had for him. I have enjoyed getting to know him through all of the wonderful memories and stories told by everyone and that is exactly how he will continue to live-through our hearts, our minds and our stories! I was grateful for this this opportunity. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Joan and family. We were sad to hear of Len's passing. Distance keeps us from being with you at this difficult time. You have been in our thoughts and the memories we share of the family picnic gatherings in Monroe Ct. Our love and sympathy to all. Cousins Don and Dorothy Hutchinson of Durham NC

My memories of Lenny (and of Joan) were the many productive meetings he attended and contributed to at St. Joseph's Manor and Sacred Heart University. In addition, I treasure the enjoyable dinners and movies Joan, Lenny and I shared. May he rest in the peace he so justly deserves.

Mr. Mainiero was my first manager when I joined People's Savings Bank back in 1968. He was a kind and considerate boss and just a wonderful person. I will always remember him with a smile.

I grew up in the Mainero's house ,I remember Mr Mainero letting me use his ford station wagon so I could take my dog to the vet and have him put down.
He gave me a lot of good business advice .
I now live around the corner and would see him walking .
I will miss him and never forget him ,
he was a gentleman.

May he rest in peace. I ask God to give the family comfort and strength. I asked that each remember Mr. Mainiero in their own special way. I work for People's United Bank and he would visit and always shake our hand at Christmas time. What a nice man!

I so agree with Ron Gibbs' comments. Len meant so much to so many people. Having reported to him for almost 20 years at People's, I know what a special person he was. Yes, tough and demanding but always with thoughtfulness and kindness. Thank you Len for having been in my life. My deepest sympathy to all his family for the loss of this GREAT man!

Joan & Family, Will always think of the
wonderful days on the Patio, at Brooklawn in the Rose Garden and at the Lake. To my best buddie.

To all that knew him and to all he touched, Len Mainiero was a very special person. Your success was his and his willingness to share, mentor and to pass on every opportunity is unequaled. To be sure, the measure of his legacy is not just in what he did, but how he did what he did!
He wonderfully gifted to so many in our special time, season and relationship with him. Many are indebted by his generosity, thoughtfulness and kindness. And what in witness has been birthed and given, shall never pass….Len’s beauty, lesson and legacy lives on in those to whom he sowed into. All that has been given and shared is now his reward for eternity.
My deepest sympathy to the Mainiero family for your personal loss and sorrow. In this season may you be comforted by the outpouring of love, thought and prayer extended. And may the overwhelming assurance, promise and peace of our Heavenly Father be present with you all.
Ron Gibbs (ex-people’s banker)
