Atty. Hanni will lie in state Sunday in Mahoning courthouse


YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning Valley residents, and more than a few outsiders, will say goodbye to a memorable political leader in a way not seen before here.

Atty. Don Hanni Jr., 82, nicknamed “Bull Moose,” will lie in state from 3 to 8 p.m. Sunday in the Mahoning County Courthouse. There will be a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. Monday in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Youngstown with the Rev. Msgr. Michael J. Cariglio officiating.

“This has never happened before in all of Mahoning County,” said Chelsey Santucci, owner of Rossi & Santucci Funeral Home, about Hanni’s viewing in the courthouse. “This has never been done for anyone else — ever.”

Santucci said the arrangements work out well because there will be people coming from all over the country to pay respects to the Hanni family.
