Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I knew and worked with Servan for many, many years, at Waste Management, and long before that, Jefferson Disposal Company. I will remember him as he was, a good, honest, and very hard working man. My prayers are with those of his family and friends that will deeply miss him.
