Termini was "a man whose warmth filled every room he entered," the post says. "His quiet acts of kindness touched more lives than he ever realized, and his selflessness was simply who he was, never something he needed to announce."

"Devoted to his family and to the bakery that carried his name, he took tremendous pride in the reputation, success and longevity of the business — a legacy built on the values of hard work, commitment to tradition and love," the post says in part. "He cherished the loyalty of his customers and treated everyone who walked through the door as part of the Termini family. Greeting his diehard Christmas Eve visitors at the front door of our flagship location was one of his most treasured roles, one that he waited all year long to enjoy."
