Leonard Marino
November 22, 1944 — November 4, 2019
Leonard G. Marino, affectionately known to family and friends as Lenny, and lifelong resident of Stamford, passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Monday, November 4, 2019. Lenny was born on November 22, 1944 to the late Leonard and Lucille (Ferullo) Marino.
Lenny was a beloved husband, father, grandpa, uncle and friend, who was renowned for his charmingly incorrigible sense of humor, big eyes, even bigger heart and generosity. Fiercely loyal to those he loved, Lenny is also the source of endless, enduring story-telling material for those that had the pleasure of knowing him and the legend of 'Len' will live on with each retelling.
A graduate of J.M. Wright Technical Trade School from the school of printing in 1962, Lenny served two years in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. Upon returning home he returned to the printing industry and as an account executive worked hard to build up a loyal clientele, many of whom have remained lifelong friends.
In addition to his love for family and friends, Lenny loved baseball, classic cars, Ebay, pasta and his mother's meatballs.
Lenny is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Theresa (Terri) Origi Marino; daughter, Laura Marino and husband, Charlie Baxter; son, Mike Marino and wife, Nicole; grandchildren, William and Josephine Marino; sister, Patti Montanaro; brothers-in-law, George Shoztic, Frank Origi (Kathy), Michael Origi (Pam), Dennis Origi (Dana) and Don Romeo; sisters-in-law, Beverly D’Aprile and Michelle Greer; and his nieces and nephews whom he adored, Matthew, Kathy, Zachary, Ryan, Melissa, Jenn, Crysta and Audra.
In addition to his parents, Lenny was preceded in death by his twin sister, Lenore Shoztic.
A wake will be held on Friday, November 8th, from 4:30pm to 8:30pm, at the Nicholas F. Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Myrtle Avenue, in Stamford. A mass of Christian burial will take place at 10:30am at St. Catherine of Siena Church, 4 Riverside Avenue, in Riverside, CT. The inurnment will follow mass at St. John R.C. Cemetery in Darien.
