John N. Minichino Sr.

In Loving Memory

I just discovered John’s passing in 2018 and am filled with thoughts of our work together at ATF. We were new Agents working together out of the Philadelphia office of ATF. We made our first arrest together during an undercover assignment in Easton, PA. John was a fine man, a terrific agent, a true gentleman and friend. I am saddened by our loss. RIP Johnny.

My best cousin and brother. The days we spent together from being so young and fun loving to the days of now with many years of things to remember, both good and not so good. I will miss the conversations we had every week on the phone to the get togethers we had now and then. Save a place on that cloud for me John for I will tag up with you once again someday. Chick

I was introduced to "Gentleman John" when he was first assigned to Salt Lake city ATF office. He was always, "Gentleman John", a great American, a professional investigator and a wonderful friend. My sincere condolences to the Minichino family. God bless.

I first met John because he was my boss in the ATF Salt Lake City, UT, Field Office from 1990-1993. It didn't take long to develop a solid professional & personal relationship with him. He was an excellent leader of our office, and my friendship with him continued throughout the rest of his life. I'm so glad that my wife, Sam, and I, had the pleasure to visit John & Suzanne at their house last July of 2017. John will be missed by not only his family, but his many friends and former co-workers. He was truly a great law enforcement professional. On behalf of my family, rest easy John, you did good.

Dear Mrs. Minichino and family: I first came to know John when we worked together while I was an Assistant United States Attorney and he was with the ATF in Salt Lake. We later met again when he was instrumental in helping to hire me to teach at Salt Lake Community College. In all of my associations with John he was a wonderful person with a wonderful personality and MANY wonderful stories. He was a constant friend and fierce defender of truth and justice. I will miss him, his smile and his wonderful sense of humor. Best wishes and condolences to all of you. Joe Anderson

John was a great guy and an excellent supervisor. We worked on several cases together with ties to the ATF Albuquerque Field Office. If you had a problem that he could help with, he would make your problem HIS problem. Those people are rare indeed. Thanks John!

My sympathy and heart go out to all of the Minichinos on the loss of John. What a nice man he was! I was lucky to meet him because of Jenny and Mike. I know he'll be missed. He was just so nice all the time. We had great conversations about their dogs, he would tell me what they like or didn't like. God bless John and the entire Minichino family, you're in our hearts and thoughts at this difficult time. With love and sympathy, Margie and Brock

When I was very young, growing up in Ocean City, NJ, hearing that Johnny would be making a visit to town was always interesting. He always seemed to be going somewhere and doing something that all of us wanted to do. As we all got older, and began to visit together less often, our family reunions were the chances to catch up with John's latest adventure. When spreading the word of a planned gathering, the first question on everyone's lips was "Is Johnny coming?" Perhaps what I'll miss the most is his mischievous smile which he would flash just before he began his torment of Neil. I will miss you greatly as will all of our family.
