Seven years ago, Errol kindly toured an overwhelmed me through the tax process of owning my own business. I remember thinking, "People really still give this kind of individual attention — just because it's helpful?" I have had the highest regard for the man who was my once-a-year companion, seeing me and my family through the pains of April 15.
I pray for peace for his family as they regroup following his loss.

I met Erroll not long after I moved to SWFL. As a fellow CPA he shared ideas with me and always impressed me as a person and professional. A true loss to our profession and community. RIP
