Pollak, whose movie credits include in "Casino" and "A Few Good Men," and Lewis Your will perform standup at the Parker Playhouse.

Godfrey said the fundraiser is a good fit for South Florida, which has many retirees from the Northeast. The Catsldll Mountains in New York used to be quite the glamorous getaway spot, Godfrey said. "It's a great, great opportunity to bring in great comedians and hopefully we'll introduce the whole concept of the museum to people in South Florida," Godfrey said. The Catsldlls, the scene of the movie "Dirty Dancing," prospered from the 1940s until the early 1960s. Museum supporters have been working on fundraising for five years.

STORELLI STORELLI, Matthew S. FSU super fan, gym-loving ironman with abs of steel and heart of gold, and God's most gifted story teller has left the building on Feb. 20, 2015, at the early age of 51. The youngest son of the late Joseph and Marie Storelli of Ft. Lauderdale, Matthew left an everlasting smile on the hearts of all who knew him.

Although Matthew's strictly regimented daily schedule of diet, exercise and work had the flexibility of a steel vault, he'd never hesitate to bend his closely guarded routine when it came to helping a friend. In 1981, Matthew graduated from Cardinal Gibbons High School in Ft. Lauderdale, and in 1986 graduated from Florida State University with honors. Matthew was the owner of a wildly successful S. FL.

landscaping business, M8.M Landscaping, which he named in honor of his beloved mother, Marie. We were all blessed to learn many life lessons from Matthew, among them: 1) a man can meet more women "working the lot," or sitting outside the entrance of Blue Martini with a cooler full of beer than paying an exorbitant cover charge and buying overpriced drinks. 2) Always keep a tuna fish sandwich in your golf bag to share with your buddies on the golf course or to avoid picking up their bar bill in the club house. 3) The best investment a guy can make is his vast collection of skin care products, especially if the product line is George Hamilton. 4) Never underestimate the power of FSU's kicker.

5) In Matt's actual parting words: "Cherish your friendships, find the humor in life and GO NOLES!" Matthew's life lessons served as a metaphor that represented his rich and fulfilling life, which he was determined to live on his terms. Matthew will be greatly missed by sister, Victoria Leggett (Jeffery); brothers, Dominick Storelli (Susan) and John Storelli (Susan); nephews, Andrew Leggett, Joseph Storelli and Nicholas Storelli; nieces, Dominique Storelli, Allie Storelli, Jackie Leggett; and an abundant list of other family members and friends. The church service will be held on Saturday, February 28th, 10am at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 4595 Bayview Drive, Ft. Lauderdale.

Matthew's life and loyalty to friends will be celebrated immediately afterwards at The Coral Ridge Yacht Club, 2800 Yacht Club Ft. Lauderdale. The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to a charity that Matthew has supported for many years. Youth Automotive Training Center (Founded by Jim Moran), 399 SW Martin Luther King, Jr. Deerfield Beach, FL 33441.

He lived a very full 64 years. Born in Wauchula, Florida on March 14, 1950, he graduated from Widener University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. A visionary in his field, and with assistance from his mentor friend, he founded Prison Health Services which pioneered the privatization of health care services provided to incarcerated persons. After selling his company, his leadership in transforming the industry allowed him to play a pivotal role in founding and growing additional companies involved in partner resources to jails and prisons.

His business energy and enthusiasm extended to all of life. His passion was experiencing world travel through cities' culture, restaurants and the arts, and he could instantly recommend three restaurants or hotels in any city anywhere to fellow travelers. His enthusiasm in business and personal interests was only surpassed by dedication to his Christian faith, trusting as he did that his worth was not located in his impressive resume but in being a beloved child of God in Jesus Christ. He expressed his faith by generously giving of himself to support the institutions he believed in and to help those in need. His love for people was expressed intensely, often and with variety.

He loved serving as an Elder in Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, and on the Boards of Directors for LIBERATE and Knox Theological Seminary. Whether serving as Sunday school teacher, driver, or connector, the example he set was, and will always be, an inspiration to his family and friends. He is survived by his wife Valerie, sons Christopher and Kyle, grandchildren, sister Gayle, brother David, and by a loving circle of nieces, nephews and dear friends who will miss him terribly. Family burial in Wauchula, Florida, will be followed by open invitation Memorial Service on March 14, 2015, at 11:00 am, at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, 5555 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33308.
