Papa passed away last night... =*(

[Alysser]

Rachel, I am so sorry for your loss. May he finally rest in peace. (((hugs))) to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss. Don't let your uncle feel guilty for not being there. At least your mom was. Your grandfather is fortunate to have had someone there and he knows that your uncle was there in his heart.

My grandfather was born and died on the 4th of July, I think he thought it was his day. Don't feel bad every July 4th - it's a time to celebrate and remember.

I am so sorry you lost your Papa - he passed peacefully in his own time, and that is all anyone can ask for.

Prayers to you and your family.

And yes, Grandma knew what she was doing when she sent you Mike.

Prayers for you and your family at this time. RIP Papa.

I was very close to one of my grandfathers, as well, and this brought back that difficult time. Try to remember all the good times; you will, given time.

Sagamore Hills Township- Albert Marignoni Sr. was 77 in 1999 when he became concerned that senior citizens in Broadview Heights did not have a regular organized exercise program.

So he organized one that year. A physical-fitness enthusiast, Marignoni conducted classes twice a week until early this year, when illness forced him to step aside. Attendance regularly reached about 70 for the two sessions, his family said.

The classes were held at the Broadview Heights Recreation Center. In 2005, he was voted Senior Citizen Volunteer of Broadview Heights Marignoni, 85, who worked 30 years with Standard Oil of Ohio in the personnel department and owned a Sohio service station, died Sunday at Akron General Hospital.

Shortly after graduating from Ohio State University, he joined Standard Oil as a personnel manager. He worked with the public-relations department, speaking to civic groups around Northeast Ohio.

In 1960, he left that department and bought Al's Sohio service station in Richfield, operating it through 1978.

After leaving the station, he opened weight-loss centers in Ashtabula, Mentor, Lakewood, Mansfield and Erie, Pa. He operated those centers for five years before selling them in the mid-1980s.

He retired in 1993, after owning an engraving business in Broadview Heights for five years.

Marignoni was a past president of the Kiwanis Club of Bath/Richfield. He was a member of the Alpini Trentini Club of Italy, composed of local people whose roots traced back to an area in northern Italy.

He founded and coached in the CYO football program for St. Pius X Church in Bedford. He was an avid Ohio State University football fan.

Marignoni was born in Goshen, Ohio, the son of Italian immigrants.

During World War II, he was a staff sergeant with an Army Signal Corps unit, serving with Gen. George Patton's Third Army in Europe.

After the war, he met his future wife, the former Virginia O'Brien, in Cleveland. The couple were married when he was finishing school at OSU. They lived in Bedford and Broadview Heights and were married for 52 years. She died in 1999.

Marignoni moved to Sagamore Hills about four years ago.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Papa I imagine it must be so difficult I lost all my grandparents either before I was born or so young that I barely remember them. I sure wish I had grandparents to get to know.

Prayers and love to your family during this difficult time.
