Remembering Paul MineoIt is with enormous regret that our customer and dear friend, Paul Mineo, takes a place here in this corner of our site where we remember our loved ones.
Even the last time we saw him, Paul was upbeat, witty, and optimistic. We didn't know that he was, at that time, aware he was fighting a losing battle. So kind and thoughtful was he, he chose not to detail the gravity of his condition, lest he burden us with his own tribulations. His burden was made that much lighter by Donna, not only his spouse but his soul-mate. He will be sorely missed by San-San, Cais and I. We pray that the hole in Donna's heart will get a little smaller as time goes on. She is in our hearts, and on our minds. OBITUARY

Paul
and Donna have been known to San-San and I since prior to our purchase
of Szechuan Tokyo. We looked forward to their visits because they both
made the evening sparkle with wit and a sense of humor when they were
with us.
Paul
James Mineo, 58, of West Hartford, beloved husband of Donna (Henderson)
Mineo, died Wednesday, (August 22, 2007) at his home. Born in Brooklyn,
NY, the son of the late James F. and Lucretia (Spina) Mineo, he was
raised in the suburbs of Long Island. Paul attended Michigan State
University where he earned a Masters in Philosophy and a Doctorate in
Communications. He began his career in teaching while finishing his
formal education and went on to teach in Missouri, Tennessee, and West
Virginia, before joining the University of Connecticut Communication
faculty in 1994. He was published in numerous journals and textbooks,
traveling over the world presenting his work at academic conferences.
Paul was a voracious reader who treasured words and books. He loved old
movies, his cats, everything about nature and the universe, music and
dancing, espresso, eggs benedict and collecting art. He was a student of
the world around him - eager to learn about it and eager to share the
things he had learned. Besides his cherished wife, Donna, he leaves his
sister, Karen Clifford of Lake Ronkonkoma, NY; his brothers and
sisters-in-law, James and Toni Mineo of Lake Grove, NY, and Nicholas and
Dawn Mineo of Shoreham, NY; his nieces and nephews, Emily, Daniel and
Steven Clifford, Meredith and Jesse Mineo, and Nicole, Kara, and Devin
Mineo; his former wife, with whom he maintained a close relationship,
Maureen Culhane; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was
predeceased by his brother-in-law, James Clifford and his nephew, James
Clifford, Jr. A Memorial Service will be held Thursday, August 30th, 7
p.m. at the Taylor & Modeen Funeral Home, 136 South Main Street, West
Hartford. Calling hours will be Thursday, the day of the service, 3 – 5
p.m. at the funeral home. A memorial service on Long Island is being
planned for a later date. Contributions in his memory may be made to the
