Leno George Valentini, 94, of Ukiah went to be with his Lord surrounded by his family. Leno was born February 2, 1925 on Clara Avenue in Ukiah, California. He was happily married to his devoted wife Shirley of 53 years. Leno is predeceased by his two sons, Mark and Michael Valentini and his brothers Albert, Mario, and Robert Valentini.

Since his honorable discharge in 1946 he lived in Ukiah the remainder of his life.
Leno was a gentle warrior who was a compassionate, loyal, selfless, and devoted father. His hobbies were gardening, fishing, hunting that he loved doing with his children and grandchildren. To others he was kind, loving, compassionate, and never met a stranger. We thank God for him and the time he gave us, and he will be greatly missed. To us Ukiah has lost one of her greatest sons.
