Lawrence Minincleri
MWRA retiree
With hearts overflowing with love, we share the passing of Lawrence “Larry” Minincleri, who left this world peacefully at home on August 4th, 2025, surrounded by his devoted family and embraced in endless love.
Born on June 30, 1935, in Revere, Larry was a proud lifelong resident of the city he adored. Over his remarkable 90 years, he touched countless lives—family, friends, and even casual acquaintances—with his kindness, warmth, and generous spirit. To know Larry was to love him, and his presence left an unforgettable mark on every heart he met.
For more than 45 years, Larry worked as a talented master mechanic with the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA), known for his steady hands, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication. Away from work, he found joy in restoring antique cars, collecting rare coins and prized sports cards, and building intricate model trains. In his younger years, his passion for building and riding motorcycles gave him a sense of adventure and freedom—later replaced by the quiet joy of his collections, reflecting his lifelong love of craftsmanship and history.
But nothing brought Larry more happiness than his family. He was the proud and loving father of Laurie Giardella and her long time partner Thomas Ambrosino Karen Salvati, Darlene Minincleri, Jason Minincleri, and Danielle Hilton and her husband Marc. His heart swelled for his grandchildren Kara, Taylor, Joseph, Paige, Marc Jr., and Brooklynne Rose. He treasured every moment with his great-grandchildren Domingo and Rosalia, whose visits filled him with pure joy. Larry also leaves behind his beloved sister Irene Gallagher, and countless relatives and dear friends who loved him deeply and will miss him beyond words.
Larry is now reunited in Heaven with his cherished parents Lorenzo and Josephine Minincleri who have welcomed him into their arms with the same love he gave so freely on earth.
A wake will be held at the Paul Buonfiglio & Sons-Bruno Funeral Home on August 11th from 4 to 8 p.m. A funeral service will follow at the funeral home, and a Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Anthony’s Church in Revere on Aug 12th at 11 a.m.
In honor of Larry, we invite you to share your stories, photos, and memories on his memorial page. Your cherished memories will keep his beautiful spirit alive and remind us how truly blessed we were to know him, to love him, and to call him our own.
