Jeannie, I just learned about Menotti's passing. I have thought of you both so many times and remembered all of the fun we had together at the Naples house. You and Menotti were so kind to me and such very special people to know. You helped me through a very difficult time in my life. You both made me laugh so much. Thank you for your love and friendship and for the special times we shared. Menotti was a very special and loving man to all who knew him. God bless him and his precious heart. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,

I am so very sorry to read about Mr. Aristone. I worked for him for awhile at Aquaduct in NY. He hired me as a hotwalker. He saw my passion for horses and did not hesitate. My sincere condolences to his family.

To the Aristone family,
God lends us our friends, our parents and our families to hold and
cherish in this life. When He takes them Home, He is not taking them
from us, but just bringing them Home to where they belong. Until we meet
again, Menotti is enjoying his reward in Heaven and will certainly be
looking after each of us. What a reunion it will be when we all meet again.
Our love and sympathy are with you all.

I will miss my favorite brother in law. I will always remember his devilish smile. He could be tough, but you knew he loved you. I know he will be looking down at us with that big smile, knowing he was loved. His pain is gone now and he can rest in peace. May God Bless Jeanie, his wife, his children, grandchildren and his brothers and sisters. Life will not be the same without you. I will miss that YES. HELLO, when I call.

Sorry to learn of Menotti's passing. We go back a few years. Pre CCHS (I went to MHS). A teenage friend whom I'll always remember. Learning of his passing tugged at my heart and I am so sorry for his passing. To the entire Aristone family, my sincerest condolences. And we did have some fun times at St. Pete's, "the park," and the old neighborhood. Thanks for the memories, Menotti, and may God Bless your family...Fred Dunbar, Beverly Hills, FL, formerly Pennsauken "Walnut."

We were broken hearted to hear of the passing of Menotti. I cannot imagine the grief you feel over the loss of such a loving husband, father and grandfather. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I just recieved an e-mail of Menotti's death. I last sat with him on a plane from Naples Fl. to AC. years ago. We talk of old times when we were in High School as if it were yesterday. Menotti was always gracious and easy to like. I was Ju Ju's buddy and he was his younger brother. I'll always have fond memories of our friendship. Len LaBattaglia

My thoughts & prayers are with the entire Aristone family at this sad time. Menotti & I became instant friends on the first day of freshman year. He is one of the reasons why my high school experience was so much fun. Though we haven't seen each other in many years he will always remain one of my closest friends. Thanks for the memories my friend. May you rest in peace.

Dear Jeanie and family,
My heart is heavy with sadness since hearing of Menotti's passing. He would make me smile and laugh when he would come into the office to see his dad or have me copy something for him. He was so kind to my boys when he came in one day and I had them there he took the picture right off the wall in his dads office and autographed it for them and they were in awe of him that day. I will miss his little risqué and funny jokes, I will miss talking to him on the phone when he would call to see if he had any mail. The world has lost a truly special man. May he RIP. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.

Please accept our sincere sympathy on the passing of Menotti. We knew him from
Merchantville & as a former classmate at CCHS. Frank enjoyed many Saturdays watching his races at the GS Track. We were happy to meet Jeanie and get to see
him in Cape May. He was always kind & smiling and will remember him that way.
God Bless.

To the Aristone family, please accept my deepest condolences in the loss of Menotti. I know that most of you do not know me. I was close to the Aristone family through out my life. His father and mother as well as all of the children were close as youngsters. I remember when his father Roland Aristone Sr and his mother bought Menotti his first horse. I grew up in Cherry Hill which was known as Merchantville at the time. Former Sgt with the Police Department & retired U.S. Dept of State Diplomat. Menotti has loved riding as long as I can remember. I cannot tell you when the last time I saw him. But he was a great individual, and is death is a loss to the world. My prayers are with you and your family. As much as I would love to attend his services, I cannot make it from my home here in Virginia in time for his services. Sincerely, Warrington E. (Pete) Brown

Jeanie & Family, so sorry to hear of Menotti's passing. We will always remember what wonderful neighbors you both were to Ted & Kay. With Love & prayers, Bob & Donna
