Quinto L. Ferri, (February 15, 1921 - June 22, 2014) - It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear Father and Grandfather Quinto Ferri on June 22, 2014.

Quinto and his 3 brothers grew high quality apples and strawberries in Huttonville for the next 75 years. Quinto is predeceased by his dear wife Alice, his beloved sister Mary and his brothers Mario, Aldo and Nick. He will be dearly missed by his sisters Ada, Rosa and Lucy.
