Primo Puccinelli Obituary

Dear Marlene and family,



So very sorry for your loss. I hear Primo got a great send-off in St Andrew's, I am so glad. I will always remember him and will offer Mass for his soul this coming week. I have written you a card to the St. Andrew's address.

Mr. Puccinelli touched my life. My sister attended St. Phillips and I remember his voice from the choir loft. He sang at both of my grandparent's funerals and he taught my daughter music at St. Andrew's school when she attended there - as well as teaching my son last year.



Marlene - may you be blessed during this time. Take comfort in knowing that Primo is singing with the angels in heaven.



He will be missed.

Having the privilege to study with the great master, Primo, in the 1970s was a turning point in my life - musically and spiritually. He gave the gift of song, confidence and discipline. Over the years his voice, guidance and the memories of my time under his artful hand has given me joy and direction. I still use his tonic of raw garlic, honey and home-made wine to remedy throat problems! My heartfelt sympathy to all his family and friends.

Our sincere condolences on your loss. He was such a significant part of liturgical music in the area. We will miss his melodious

voice and the impression he left of magnificence. Marlene keep up boosting his memory with your organ playing and the kids carreers.

May he rest in peace and make heaven a more musical place.

God Bless!

Marlene,



It was a special treat knowing Primo for such a short time. I've learned so much from him. His spirit will always be with us. Let us all remember as he said each Sunday. "Sing loud and unto the Lord"



My prayers go out to you and your family.

Marlene, he was a giant with the voice to match. Robert and I will miss our Sunday rides with Primo and his joyful laughter when I caught every green signal on our way up Walnut Avenue. Primo knew the voice better than anyone and I was fortunate to have had him as my teacher.

Hi Marlene,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I will never forget Primo's booming voice from the choir loft at St. Phillip's. I'll also remember him for those wonderful, aromatic cigars he used to bring to my grandfather on a regular basis!! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
