Condolences to the entire Ascento family. I have known Gary along with his brothers and sisters since Elliott School days and known his entire family since I worked at my Uncle's store. They were big supporters of Belvin's Grocery back in the day. God bless everyone involved during this difficult time and may Gary Rest in Peace.
