Marilyn and her family, I will always have fond memories of your Dad & the Coletta’s on Summer Ave. He was a great man & had a great place. He was always so kind & generous to everyone. He will be greatly missed. Kay Higgins French 4/17/13
Teleflora’s Pink Potpourri Bouquet was purchased for the family of Horest Joseph Coletta.
He was the icon of Coletta’s Italian Restaurants for more than 5 decades. After my Daddy died, in 1978, he was always there for me and my family. He has been ill for quite a few years and this came as no surprise but that doesn’t make it any easier. He did live a full, fruitful life and was a generous man to his family, relatives, friends, employees, the Italian, Catholic, and Memphis community. He will be missed terribly and I’m sure he’s in heaven cooking up some kind of Italian dish with his 2 brothers and parents. Rest with God, Uncle Horest you deserve it.
Deepest sympathies from Patrick & Michelle Coletta.
