Carmino Renzi
Richmondville- Carmino, "Carmen" Renzi passed quietly from this life on September 1, 2014 at his home. Carmen was born to Michael and Lucia Renzi on March 17, 1924. He married Linda Lee Clay in Concord, NH on April 29, 1963.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Linda Renzi. He is also survived by his children, Garry Renzi, Jeffrey Renzi and his wife Dawn, and Carole Renzi; sister, Gilda Mitchell, and brother-in-law, Dominic Mitchell, sister, Delores Barlette; brother, Michael Renzi, sister-in-law, MaryAnn; granddaughters: Gina, Kim, and Veronica. Also survived by many loved nephews and nieces, Neil, Donna, Dominic, Joseph, Deborah, Renee, Michael, Crystal, Mark, Tina, and Michelle; and by his beloved dog, Henry and cat, Jeters.
Carmen was predeceased by a son, Duane Renzi, two brothers, Casimo Renzi and Maximillan Renzi, and two sisters, Gloria Annis and Mary Reynolds.
Carmen made the Schenectady, Capital Region his home for most of his life. He did a brief stint in the Army and took up boxing while in service, much to his mother's dismay. In his travels, he learned to fly small airplanes, and eventually bought a plane of his own. For a time he was a golf caddie in North Carolina, again much to his mother's dismay. He returned home to apprentice as a welder and became an ironworker for Local 12. He was proud to have worked on Albany's iconic skyline... the towers on Empire State Plaza and the Egg. "That Egg was tricky." He also worked on the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge, or the Twin Bridges, crossing the Mohawk connecting Colonie and Halfmoon, as well as the towers at the University at Albany. He loved horses and eventually became a trainer. He particularly enjoyed retelling stories of his trainer days. He had many passions for life, and art enthusiast, golfer, an avid debater of politics, religion, and Joe Girardi. He had a poet's soul, a writer, a painter, a dreamer. He had a devilish smile and quick wit. He had cheated death many times, and joked that he made it through because he, "wasn't quite finished with this world. There's too much to still experience". You will be missed. Bellisimo!
There will be no services planned at this time. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mereness-Putnam Funeral Home, 171 Elm St., Cobleskill and Palmer & Shaylor Funeral Home of Middleburgh.
