Mr. and Mrs. Ito were long time owners of Ito Cleaners on Buena Vista Rd. I met them through the cleaning business as a landlord and friend. They were diligent business owners and very nice folks to work with. Mrs. Ito was active in her church and always telling me about her children whom she dearly loved. The Ito family definitely made a lasting impression in Columbus. My condolences to the family and friends. They will be surely missed.
