I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Esposito. I had the opportunity to work at The Column's Restaraunt and later on DJ's where I was afforded the opportunity to work with and meet many friends. We were all treated like family. Mr. Esposito, Angilo Miliotis, Tommy, Sam, Mimi, Johnnie, Olivia, Karen, etc. Mr. Esposito will be greatly missed.
