Mr. Leon MiletelloMulhearn Funeral HomeWest Monroe, LA
Funeral services for Mr. Leon Miletello, 88, of West Monroe, will be held at 10:00 AM Tuesday, September 18, 2007, at St. Matthew Catholic Church with Rev. Joseph Puthuppally officiating.

Mr. Miletello was born November 5, 1918 in Maringouin, LA and passed away Sunday, September 16, 2007. He was a member of St. Matthew Catholic Church. Mr. Leon and Ms. Katie were the owners of Leon’s Grocery for thirty-two years in West Monroe. He actively worked with the Lions Club, and Amvets. Papa, as he was called by his grandchildren, loved to catch white perch better than anyone. You never went to visit without leaving with a bag full of green beans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, or what ever vegetable that was in season. He fought a hard battle with cancer, never giving up. He leaves memories of happy events, funny fishing stories, unique phrases, and the most loving family anyone could ever wish for.
Mr. Miletello was preceded in death by his parents, Salvadore and Josephine Miletello; two sisters, Virginia Fontana Cascio, and Josephine Scalia.
