I am so sad to hear of Yonni passing. I worked for Platts Metals Week and until my retirement in 2015 I would for many years call Yonni 2x a week to get his prices for aluminum. During those calls we developed a friendship always asking about each others families. Yonni was such a sweet kind man. RIP my dear friend.

I have many fond Memories of Yonny and Family. He was always very kind to me and I used to enjoy going to his house to play with his 3 sons. Andy was the same age as me. I will miss him.
