Mentell was born in Austin and moved to Waukegan with his mother, Alicia, during his childhood.<\/p>\n

Locally, a memorial service will be held on Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. at the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, 39 Jack Benny Drive.<\/p>\n

In lieu of flowers, his family has requested that donations may be made in Mentell’s name to the Waukegan Park District’s cultural arts program.<\/p>\n
