My deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Fiermonti. I have worked with this incredible man for 8 years at his Crest Equipment (Eastern Equipment) and I always admired his dedication to his family, friends and work. I truly appreciated all the advice he would give his co-workers and friends that truly cared for him. My heart weighs heavy on reading about the loss of such a great man. He will always be in my prayers.

I am his grandson and he meant very much to me. I was actually on vacation in the Ft. Myers area when he passed. I was so grateful to be there for him and I held his hand as he died. I will never forget that moment. Father, I hope you are doing better.

Sorry to read of Mr.Fiermonti's passing. He was such a gentleman, and I remember how he always refered to his wife as a "good girl". He was so upset when she passed. 
 
I handled his transactions at DMV for years. He was a lovely, lovely man.
