    John M. Menneto Sr

    August 5, 1929 - May 22, 2020

    Albany-John Michael Menneto Sr., 90, passed away suddenly & unexpectedly on Friday, May 22, 2020, due to complications from COVID-19. Born August 5, 1929 in Albany, he was the son of the late Ignatius & Virginia (Ferrari) Mennito. He was a graduate of St. Joseph’s Academy in Albany, NY and then went on to serve in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict. After serving, John returned to Albany and worked for NYS Department of Retirement, where he met his wife of 60 years, Felicia Menneto. The couple went on to share four children and lived in the Albany area for the remainder of their lives, where John also worked for Tele-Service Technicians, and met many lifelong friends. After retirement, John enjoyed frequenting garage sales, running errands for friends and family, but most special to him was seeing & spending time with his grandchildren. You would most likely find John at a little league baseball field or at the top of his driveway, cigar in hand, being “The Mayor” of Crestone Road. John is predeceased by his wife, Felicia Menneto, brothers Anthony & Joseph Menneto, sisters Angeline Halko & Carmela “Jean” Gush, all of the Capital District. John was also predeceased in life by his caring son-in-law, Gilbert (Alicia) Celli. John is survived by all four of his adoring children, John M, Jr., (Rosemary) of Satellite Beach, Fla., Victoria L. Menneto-Trance of Latham, Alicia M. Celli of Glen Cove, NY, and Nanette McGowan (Sean) of East Greenbush. John leaves behind the lights of his life, his cherished grandchildren, Kristen (Stephen) Albright, David, Andrew & Connor Menneto, Thomas & Gregory Hotaling, and Paige M. & Drew M. Trance. John is also survived by his brother, George (Beverly) Menneto of Clifton Park, sister-in-law, Nancy Mennito of Guilderland, many nieces & nephews, great- grandchildren, and special friends, especially those of his neighborhood, who were always looking over & caring for John. A celebration of life remembering John will be for immediate family only at McVeigh Funeral Home, 208 North Allen St., Albany. Interment will immediately follow the remembrance service at Our Lady of Angels Cemetery. His family would like to thank all of those who have extended their condolences during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the gofundme, Feed Albany-COVID-19 Relief Fund. To leave a message for the family, please visit www.McveighFuneralHome.com
