After graduating junior college she returned to central New York to become a buyer at the Addis Department Store. She married musician James Ashby in 1957 and he taught her how to play the electric bass and she soon became part of the Treble Tones which was an instrumental pop band, much like the Ventures, that played throughout the Central New York region and recorded on the Decca label. Henrietta also worked for Associated Coca Cola as a bookkeeper and remained there for 40 years as she raised their three boys. All three sons became musicians at a very young age and by 1969 the Ashby Family Band emerged to play all over Central New York, in various configurations, for the next 20 years. Dale, Martin and Jay Ashby have gone on to become professional musicians performing around the world today. In 1991, Henrietta and Jim retired to Pittsburgh where she ushered at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild Jazz concerts for the next 20 years and greeted thousands of Jazz fans with her infectious smile.

FANTIN LUCIANO ON TUESDAY, APR...
FANTIN LUCIANO On Tuesday, April 2nd, Luciano Fantin went to his heavenly home after a valiant battle with a long illness. His devotion to his family and firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace. He was born Luciano Giovanni Batista Fantin in the small town of Forcella, in the Friuli region of Italy on December 12, 1932. In 1954, he left his hometown to work in Lubeck, Germany, with his father and worked alongside many others who were there to rebuild Germany in post-World War II. In the spring of 1956, he was issued a Canadian visa and spent a year working in Montreal, Canada, until March, 1957, when he finally received his US visa and began living his big American Dream. Luciano worked in Toledo, South Bend, and Chicago before finally settling in Pittsburgh in 1958. That summer, he met the love of his life, Irene Solari, at an Italian-American picnic. They were married in 1959. In 1961, Luciano and Irene started a family and in 1965, Luciano and his wife Irene started Fantin Flooring. Both thrived. The business employed many family members and friends. It continues today under the leadership of his son, Michael. Family and friends loved Luciano for his warmth, friendliness, and love of his Italian heritagefood, music and history. He enjoyed a good glass of wine with family and friends, and was quite good at making it too. He was an expert cook and loved his polenta and pasta. Luciano had a passion for gardening and tending his vegetable garden, fruit trees, and flower beds. He loved accordion music, and he danced like Fred Astaire with his wife Irene. Always learning new things, he bought a computer when in his 70s and kept his records, finances, and even his memoirs on it. Luciano was loved by many; he was beloved husband of 60 years to Irene (Solari) Fantin; loving father of Louise Hahn (Bill), Michael Fantin (Janine), the late Mirra F. Gavran (surviving spouse Richard), and John Fantin (Michael); brother of the late Maria Mancuso (the late Dominco), Bruna Mincin (Torino), Gemma DelBianco (Franco), and Franca Paterni (Ronald); proud grandfather of Christopher, Nicole, Emily, Isabel, Natalie, Benjamin and Grace; also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
