    Cacciatore, who calls himself the Pawnfather, said it’s time for a new chapter, but he’ll miss the place.

    “I don’t know how long I can stay retired to be honest with you, and it’s not about the money,” Cacciatore said. “It’s about meeting people, from the richest to the richest, to the poorest to the poorest and everyone in between.”

    The auction starts at 10 a.m. Saturday. (Dalia Dangerfield/Spectrum Bay News 9)

    Cacciatore launched his pawn shop about 30 years ago.

    He said he won’t sell everything. Some of the items hold a special meaning for him.

    And if he gets too bored in retirement, Cacciatore said he may open another shop in Pasco County.
