Rest In Peace...Over the past couple of months two people who I have known have passed away: Jim Barbagelata and John Henry Taylor. Jim, a former printing sales man who had sold printing services to Frank when he was in publishing. Jim would later leave that industry and become a "handy man" of sorts. Though he wasn't the best that money could by he was dependable and he was a good man.

John Henrey Taylor, when I first met this man I didn't trust him one bit due to his affiliation with our competition. As time went on he proved to be loyal to the company and very loyal to his friends. There was nothing he wouldn't do for his friends If he had the means. I always felt safer when he was around as I knew there was someone near by that would have my back if the shit hit the fan. Over the past few years his life has gone up and down. And though I was not a close part of his life I can say that he was my friend.

Jim Barbagelata & John Henry Taylor, may you both have peace. You have touched and impacted the lives around you in some some. I hope that you both knew that you were befriended and loved. Peace to you on the next stage of your journey.
