Achille Valentinelli

Achille Romano Valentinelli, 85, found eternal peace on November 30th after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Northern Italy and very honored to be an American citizen to give his children and grandchildren opportunities that he did not have. Achille was the beloved husband of Rita (Gabos) for 59 years and much-loved father of Valeria (Greg) Kopulos and David (Casey). He was the proud Nonno of Ryan, Tate, Reese, Chloe, and Lorelai. Achille is also survived by sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Achille is preceded in death by his parents Narciso and Valeria (Melchiori) and brother, Narciso. Family was everything to Achille. His children and grandchildren gave him great joy.

Special thanks to all the wonderful people at Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic at Summit Hospital and all the caring people with Aurora Health Hospice Care.
