I send my love, prayers, and condolences to the Asso family! I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m just glad I am able to say “I had the honor of knowing and meeting your father” as a child. I remember Mr. Asso always working around the house especially when I would be outside. He was a nice and caring man!
