    MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

    Jerry Nicklow - Huff Insurance


    Jerry is the Marketing Director at Huff Insurance.  He has been with the agancy since 2008.

    Huff Insurance has been a member of the PBA since the beginning back in 1986.  Huff Insurance was established in 1960 and continues to grow and support our community.

    Huff Insurance is an independent insurance agency, which means we have options.  In todays world of increasing insurance rates, it is good to deal with an insurance agent who has options for you.

    At Huff Insurance, a Trusted Choice® Insurance Agency, we understand that you want the right insurance coverage at the right price.

    You shouldn’t have to deal with a cartoon or fictional character. Nor should you have to deal with a faceless 800 number that has your calls going to another state or even another country!

    Huff Insurance is still family owned and operated and plans to stay that way. When you call us, you are talking to a real live local person, who will change the way you think about insurance.

    McCully Polyniak & Collins Funeral Home


    To the Pasadena Business Association

              It was certainly a privilege to become new members of the PBA and attend our first meeting as the new owners of the McCully Polyniak & Collins Funeral Home.

    Ashley and I have worked at the funeral home for many years, me starting in 1997 and Ashley in 2011, so we feel we have deep roots in the Pasadena community.

    Ashley and I purchased the funeral home from Valerie Polyniak who decided it was time to retire, and took over sole ownership on January 1, 2023. While we are still learning the ins and outs of ownership, we wanted to get involved with the PBA because John Polyniak, Valerie’s late husband was a long-time member and I would at times attend the monthly meeting with him so, I know how important it is to have those connections within the business community.

    Ashley and I have stayed busy raising our little 2-year-old boy John, Jr.  and attending Our Lady of the Chesapeake Church, all the while running the funeral home.

    Even though our name has been added to the sign and Valerie has retired, we are still the same caring and compassionate funeral home that has been on Mountain Road since 1971.

    John and Ashley Collins
