John & Lisa AcetoJohn was a good friend and neighbor for twenty-one years. After a snowstorm years ago, I shoveled his driveway before I left for work. While I was gone for the day, he used his Toro snowplow to clear my drive before I got home. That was the kind of guy he was. We will miss him dearly.
