Scranton, Pennsylvania
Joseph Minelli passed away in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The obituary was featured in Scranton Times on June 23, 2010.
My deepest sympathy to the Minelli family. I remember my father taking us to the Idle Hour many years ago when we came up to visit my grandparents. We had such fun. My father was one of John Minelli's best friends and I'm sure he also knew Joe. His name was Bill Sheptock.
May your many fond memories see you through this difficult time.

My sympathy to the extended Minelli family. I have very fond memories of working at Idle Hours. The work helped me pay my way through Marywood and launch my working life. Joe largely contributed to my developing a "Pennsylvania work ethic"; it came from following his example.
