To Mary & the Janega family,



Joe & I would like to offer you our deepest sympathy.



Personally, I always had a soft spot in my heart for Martin. He was the one who found me my first office summer job at "Reitman's offices on St. Lawrence St. in Montreal. I was fifteen years old. He was the Remington Rand representative at Reitman's.
