Hello Tami, Your father and I were friends for 30 years. He was an amazing guy whose attention to detail and natural skepticism helped us both to find superb investment opportunities. He will be sorely missed by those of us that experienced the investment business from 1970 to present day.

I was very saddened to learn about the death of your father Tami. I worked for him from 1979-1984 in Danville. He was a very sought after and respected stockbroker/financial planner back in the day with a large "family type" following. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Diane Ingersoll

It comes as a shock to hear of his death. I had worked for him in NJ years ago and was surprised when I revisited the area that his office was no longer there. He will be missed by many.
