Remembering Dr. John Palumbo
It is with sadness and a sense of loss that we share the news that our friend and colleague, John Palumbo passed away last weekend. John and I have been office mates so to speak, only two doors apart, for the past 17 years. What I will miss most about John is his presence. Warren Buffet said that a key to becoming a better person was to surround yourself with people that are better than you. In other words, hangout with people who had traits and characteristics that you admire and want to emulate. John was one of those people. He made you want to be a better person. We will miss you, John. RIP.
