I was saddened to see your husband/father's passing. You were blessed with spending so much time with him at the business that few people get to experience. It also makes it extremely difficult at this time but as you move forward you will continue to feel his guidance. He taught you well

Frank Pantano one of the nicest and hardest working people I ever met! He installed ceramic tiles in my mother's living room and through out our house that was a life time of compliments! Heaven is definitely bridging over across his arms and showing the way to God! Super nice person! Super nice family!

Frank was a true gentleman. It was my pleasure to be able to wait on him when he came to buy vegetable seeds and bird feed. He always lit up the room when he walked through the door and will be greatly missed. My prayers for his family during and after the loss of a great man.
