On behalf of the WWLCC Board of Directors and staff, we are heartbroken to hear about the passing of our very own Chamber member Anthony Peto, who unexpectedly passed away on February 8 at the age of 41.

Anthony was the owner of Sewer Cleaning Company and an active member of the WWLCC. He leaves behind his wife, Tonya, and sons Anthony Valentine Jr. "AJ" and Louis Robert "Louie." Anthony was most recently an Icon Sponsor for our Annual Luncheon and was always eager to support the Chamber and help his community. Anthony has truly made a memorable impact on the people of Lake County. He was a dedicated husband, father, business owner and friend to many. In lieu of flowers, his family is requesting contributions to be made in memory of Anthony to Treasured Memories via his obituary on the Funeral Home website only.

Please consider donating to the family's Meal Train campaign to make life a little easier for them during this difficult time. To donate, please click here.
