  1. • An early memory was trying to get Fran to say “Ya’ll” the Southern way…he never got it. It would always come out as some contamination of “You-all” or “You-Ns-All” or “Youse-All”. We would laugh until we were in tears and our ribs hurt during these lessons��
    • Fast forward to our 30th reunion on The Keys…Fran was a hit with my kids. He would come to our room and ask Tim & Susan to come out to skateboard, listen to cool music, and play…SOME PEOPLE NEVER CHANGE.

  3. I only met Mr. Marinelli by phone as I work for his Primary Care Doctor. Mr. Marinelli was and will remain one of my favorite people! No Matter if he was feeling sick or down, he always had a smile on his face, that smile would show thru the phone. He ended a few conversations with me with an " I love you leelee" and I would return the love. The news of his passing has really affected me, I wish I couldve had the opportunity of meeting him and giving him a big Hug! May he forever rest in Peace and Glory. Love always LeeLee - 01/07/2015
