MEET ANTE

Florante Pinili was born on January 21, 1942, in the Philippines. He came to the United States in the 1960s, got married, and raised 2 sons in New Jersey. He was an Electrical Engineer and an avid fisherman. Every time he passed any body of water, the wheels would start spinning to see if it was possible to go fishing.

Family or friend, he was known as Ante. His hard work ethic to provide for his family and his passion for fishing will always be an inspiration to his family.
