Mr. Tramontana had such an impact on his students, not just on photography skills, but how to see the world and change it to the lens of the camera. May we all lean on each other and on God's promise of a paradise world in which we will see our loved ones again.

It is never easy to lose a loved one, I pray you find comfort in Gods promise found at John 6:40 which says that soon we will see all our loved ones again. My deepest condolences to the family.
