We extend our sympathies to Lenny, Jen, Barbara, Nick, Vinny, Joey and the entire Minelli Family. Mr. Minelli was a wonderful man who was dedicated first and foremost to his family. It was always a pleasure to visit with him as he always had a smile and a kind word to say. We will miss both of your parents Len. We are never ready for having our parents leave us, yet what peace in knowing they are together again. We are sorry we can not come to the service but know that we are with all of...

Always enjoyed seeing Len Sr. sitting at one of the tables outside of the store. He always call me, "Doc." and I would always joke around with him...what a wonderful man, they don't make them like him any more...old school, kind, a people's person. I will miss him !
