To the Manelli family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Louie at Cub Foods. I always had respect for Louie, he talked about his family and it was easy to see the Love that he had for his entire family. Hold all the great memories you have. All that had contact with Louie were fortunate to have met him. God Bless. Jason Schultz Cub Foods

We are so saddened by your loss. Lou was such a pleasant addition to the hard-working group in the concession stand and I always enjoyed seeing the two of you arrive -- hot dog buns in hand! Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. With sincere sympathy, The Kanten Family

Manelli Family,
I just heard the news yesterday and want to extend my heartfelt condolences. Lou was a very kind and generous man who left everyone who met them a better person. I fondly remember how kind he was to our soccer team when he drove the bus for one of our overnight trips. I also looked forward to seeing him at various Oriole events.
God Bless

I had the pleasure to work with Louie at US Bank Home Mortgage for a few years. What a tremendous man, he always spoke highly of his wife, Michelle and bragged about all of his kids and the activities/sports they were in. He was so proud of all. God bless! Jeff Rotter

To the precious Manelli family--You are in my prayers. I was so shocked when I read about Dad. He was the best and I really enjoyed your family and all the special things you did for me when the kids were at Elm Creek. I'm still there teaching 3rd grade--44 years now and going strong. Stop by if you are near by and we can have some memories. Krazy Katie Rootes the third grade lady

Dear Manelli family:
I just heard of Lou's passing late last night from Ben Cohn. I'm in total shock and disbelief! I'm so so sorry to hear of Lou' passing. I feel very privledged to have known him as parent of some of the finest students that I had the pleasure of working with in my years at Osseo Sr. High. I all ways enjoyed our visits about the kids and of course, hockey. This world has definitely lost a " good One" as they say, and I will miss seeing him at games. Fortunately you are a strong family and God is with you. My sincere condolences and prayers, Mr. Paske.

Michelle, Dom and family, I am deeply saddened at the loss of Lou. What many fond memories we all have of our hockey years as well as other times. Lou was an outstanding coach, providing leadership, guidance and good sportsmanship to our boys. He strived to bring out the best in each boy. Lou was a man of integrity. It has been a priviledge to be able to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! May your many memories bring you comfort. May the Lord grant you all peace and comfort.

The Manelli name was one I heard a great deal of while growing up. My dad and Louie were in real estate together when Louie first started out. Louie helped me when I bought my first home in Brooklyn Park and with my second home in Maple Grove.
When Louie changed careers and became a distributer, (my husband is too) we had the daily pleasure of sharing stories and accomplishments of our families.
If you were blessed to have crossed paths with Louie, you had a friend for life. He had a heart of gold.
