Dear Pesche Family,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He was a kind and generous man. I know he will be greatly missed. The Pesche Family were wonderful neighbors to my family years ago. ( 1446 Rand Rd- which has been torn down). My deepest sympathy.

Dear Chris and Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your Dad. He was fun to talk to and really enjoyed the Troop 6 Brats!! We loved having him stop by the grill and although we offered him free ones he always insisted on paying because "it was for the boys". The Gast Family

Frank was like a father to me. I spent most of my youth running around the greenhouse and store. The many trips to Canada fishing...it was the one thing he enjoyed as much a being at the store. He was always fair and honest with how he treated all of us.

He is at peace now and I am grateful he was a part of my life and for all he taught me. Long live the memories. All of the Pesche family are in my prayers. Peace brothers.
