My condolences to the whole Sergio's Pest Pros family. I cannot remember when I first met Sergio; it was so o o o long ago. The next generations eventually took over keeping the same high standards and personal service that Sergio set. Sergio was a very nice person, a good business man, and the immigrant American dream success story. His legacy is his family and his good reputation in the community.

Dear Family, I was saddened to hear of the passing of "Sergio". He serviced my mom's house since I was a young kid and I am happy to still use your services. I remember coming home from school and we always knew he had been there- I am glad the treatments are odorless now :) My mom (Sharon Rakotz) died two years ago, and hearing about Sergio made me sad that the generation is slowly disappearing. Condolences from my family. I know if my mom were still here she would be touched by his passing.

Dear family,
Your father was a loving, kind man who we had the pleasure of knowing since the 1980's when he first came to our home. My children loved him and his smile and kind heart will be remembered always. We hope you find comfort in his memory.

These days it is impossible not to be sad .... but your memory Dear Uncle Vicente will always make me smile; Because to share any moment of life with you was a party. I stay with your stories and anecdotes told with that particular form that you had, your advice and your closeness in spite of the distance. Unforgettable Uncle Vicente.

I only met Sergio once, and his wisdom amused me. I was only 14 back then and he taught me a lot of things I will never forget. He will be really missed. So sorry for your loss.

I have worked for Sergio's Pest Control in the office for over 5 years now. Customers always ask how Sergio is doing and like to tell stories about when he used to come to their house, It is very apparent that he made a huge impression on them. I don't think there are very many companies out there that have had some of the same customers for over 40 years like Sergio's does. I always enjoyed it when Sergio would come to Michigan in the summer. He was very interesting to talk with and always took time to spend with us in the office.. Sergio will be missed, RIP

Sergio was a true gentleman in the finest sense of the word. We have been dealing with him and the company he passed on to his son and grandson 44 years and had the finest of service and response. It is nice to see the company adhering to his sound principles. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends. JoAnn & Marshall Bell

Dear Dad, I know in my head that you left us physically and it is hard to imagine I wont be seeing you, hugging you, and hearing your wonderful voice. Knowing this is definitely the worst part of my life. Somehow my grief is overcome by the sweetest of memories that you have given me. These pictures spark memories of the best of times. I am so grateful for them all. Grateful and proud of what an amazing man you were and how proud I am to call you my Dad. I know that when we see each other again it will be like you never left and we will just pick up where we left off. Its not goodbye, its "see you later". I love you forever, my Superman. Sergio Vincente De Gennaro

Dear Family of Sergio,
Ross and I have been customers of Sergio's Pest Pros for over 40 years. When we started, Sergio came out himself and was always friendly and efficient. Then came Tony and a list of other friendly, helpful employees. We never had a moment's trouble with this family in all of these years. We were saddened to hear of Sergio's passing. May you all enjoy the memories of this man for many years to come,
Sincerely,
Ross and Carol Fridson

I had only meet Sergio a handful of times when he came to Michigan to visit with Tony and Dion. He was always a joy to be around. He had so many fun stories to tell. He would come into the office and talk with Lisa and I about the old days at Sergio's. Sergio you will be greatly missed. I am very sorry for your loss. RIP Sergio

My dad passed away this morning. We we're not aware of the kidney cancer that was growing inside of him for a year. I came down to Florida 10 days ago to visit him and to help him in rehab to recover from a bleeding ulcer we discovered last week. His conditions worsened over the first 4 days that I was here. We took him to the ER last Friday night. A cat scan revealed a large mass on his kidney. Sunday, we transferred him to hospice. Words can not express the sorrow I am feeling. Those who know me, also know him. Those who knew him, also know me. He lives on through me. My friends we're his friends and his friends we're my friends. He was the best story teller I ever knew. He lived every day to the the fullest. He lived in the moment. He overcame tremendous adversity and taught me never to give up. He was and always will be my source of confidence and strength. He was my mentor. I learned from his mistakes as well as my own. He would not want me to mourn his death, but to celebrate his life. I write to you from our favorite cigar bar in Sarasota. HE IS MY HERO! He made me the Man I am today. I am and always will be very proud to be called his SON. I salute my dad Sergio, THE GREATEST DAD IN THE WORLD!!!
