Charles Paul Minadeo was born on the 22nd of September, 1934 to Angelo (Charles) Minadeo and
Lucille Minadeo (Focareto). He was preceded in his passing by both of his parents, and his wife, Jody Minadeo. He is survived by his brother, Paul Minadeo, his children Cindy, John, Danny, Kathy, and Michael, ten grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren.
Our dad served his country for two years in the Army overseas in Korea. After returning, he worked for
a short time selling insurance until he found his final job and career with the City of Irvine, where he worked as a superintendent, then ultimately building inspector. However, his greatest joy came from teaching evening courses at Saddleback College.
Our Dad loved his family, his dogs, riding motorcycles, golfing, fishing, his boat, his friends, swing dancing, creating art and writing. He was smart, handsome, funny, and passionate. He was so many things to so many people.
We love you, Dad.
