Garden Club of Oakmont

WITH GRATEFUL THANKS to DANNY MONACO

It is with profound regret and deep sadness that Garden Club of Oakmont acknowledges the recent passing of Danny Monaco. Danny was well known in our community, not only for his much loved restaurants, Hoffstot’s and Cafe Monaco, but for his energy, his concern for others and his giving nature. Danny was a very good friend to Garden Club members, both individually and collectively. He supported us in many ways, most notably with the use of his parking lot for our annual Spring Plant Sale, along with complimentary lunches for our members who worked a long, hot day. The urns outside his restaurants overflowed with striking plants every summer, reflecting his love of all things bright and beautiful. They beckoned the passer-by inside to a friendly gathering place and food that never disappoints, where everybody was assured of a friendly and personal greeting. It was a job very well done. Every community should have a Danny. We were fortunate that it was ours.

We will miss you, Danny. Thank you.
