Duluth icon follows his wife just 4 days after she passed...

Obituary: Duluth tycoon Jeno Paulucci shared his money, opinions | StarTribune.com

"There is no question that Jeno was the most important figure in the history of northeastern Minnesota in the past 50 years," Duluth Mayor Don Ness said. "Everywhere you look in Duluth, you see evidence of his entrepreneurship, of his sense of civic duty, of his investment in the fabric of life in northeastern Minnesota."

True.
He did a lot for the area.
But if it was not for his wife we would have had much less than we do.

Remember the chun-king plant?

The city took it in eminent domain for the hy-way.
Jeno never forgave the city for taking his business away from him. He then proceeded to open new operations in Florida and thumb his nose at Duluth.

But all in all he and his wife did love the area.
