Tano was a man who always had a smile on his face, genuinely loved people and never met a stranger. He was a selfless man and would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. He was the life of the party, loved to laugh and was always joking. Tano loved his dogs and loved living in the country, tending his yard and garden.
Tano worked at Capitol Bolt for many years and then moved on to Redken. From Redken Tano went on to work at King Size Storage for 15 years. From here, Tano went on to create even more friendships at Lockhart School Bus Barn and finally with Cabelas. Tano created life-long friendships every place that he went.
Most of all, Tano loved spending time with his family and friends, making memories. He will truly be missed, but never forgotten. Tano will forever be in our hearts and minds.
