Not sure what to say?

Have never forgotten Enzo and the many contributions he made to the growth and development of the automobile industry in general and Volkswagen in particular, Simply put, he helped pioneer VW and, in the process, made it a major brand. Equally, if not more importantly, he was a gracious and generous man.

Of all the people I was fortunate to know in the automobile business during my years with Volkswagen, nobody was more kind and considerate than Enzo Montesi and I will always remember him for his advice and counsel and, simply put, for being a nice guy.

Gail, Gary, Claudia and Mrs. Montesi, I was so sad to hear about your Dad and husband. I have such great memories of him at the house in the old Dunbar Hill neighborhood. He was the first business owner I actually knew and he showed that it could be done with class, integrity, personality and, yes, some good humor. He leaves behind an enviable legacy with his great family and business. Many condolences from my family there - and down here.

We are so sorry to learn of Enzo's passing. We all couldn't wait to visit with him each year at Mom's house (Betty Rivers). I especially loved all the great times I spent with Enzo. We had endless conversations in english and Italian. It also touched my heart how he enjoyed my children and grandson. We will miss him a lot. Our condolences to the Montesi family.
