Frank and Michael and family so sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of your father both as a chaperone with the CYO band and the years I did business with him when I worked for Leblanc. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.

Darlene Rokusek says:
I would like to express my sympathy to the Pacetti family. We met Emil down at his store, and he became our friend. All our children were in band, and he was so great in fixing their instruments and he did it with a smile! He was a great asset to the Kenosha band program. May God be your comfort during this time.

I remember Emil’s friendship, humor, and kindness from the days I taught at UW Parkside (1979-83). It was my first teaching job, and his constant presence and positive attitude were a comfort through some tough times.Thanks, Emil.
