Dear Kathy and Mario,
I just heard about this and I am terribly sad. Your dad was such a warm, caring and upbeat man. My kids and I loved seeing him at the store. He always made us feel like family. My prayers to you and the rest of your family.

Dear Minelli Family,
Where do I begin. I know you all as if you were my family. When I heard of Johnny's death, I felt as if I lost a family member. There are no words that I can say that could express I sorry I am. Both your Mother and Brother/Father/ Great Guy will always be in my heart. I love you all and pray for peace and healing. Forgive me for not being there to pay my respects. You were all so good to my family when my dad passed. God Bless your family. Cynthia Barbalace Iffland.

Dear Minelli Family,
We will always remember John Minelli, who was first and foremost a wonderful family man. Not only was he a loving husband and caring parent, but he also extended his gentle kindness to all people-- whether they be Little Leaguers he coached, store customers who always appreciated his special attention, or people who met him for the first time. Everyone admired your father, and his warmth and generosity will be remembered by all whose lives he touched.

I have nothing but the fondest of memories of Mr. Minelli throughout my childhood. John welcomed me into his home and always treated me like family. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Minelli family as I know that John truly dedicated his entire life to his family. We all can learn from the principles by which John lived his life, and I have no doubt that the many future generations of the Minelli family will continue to make him proud. I feel blessed to have known John, and I...
