Armand was a great man & a very generous man to my family & me.
Our first acquaintance with the Toron family was when my father worked part time as a pressman for Armands' father after he would finish his day job at Becton Dickinson.
I later met Armand when I was on the Education & Training Committee for a trade association called Print New Jersey. We would meet on the 2nd floor at Graytor Printing & Armand being 25 years older than I took me under his wing. He was very excited & personally took me downstairs to show me his installation of 2 new Heidelberg 6 color presses.
When times got tough after 9/11-he brought me in as a sales person & even hired 2 of my employees to ease their burden. Although he had a tough exterior he was always considerate & I especially enjoyed his sense of humor.
I am saddened to hear of his passing which also unfortunately coincides to the day of my Mothers passing last Wednesday.
Lions like him & his generation will be sorely missed. My love to Stephen & his remaining family. He truly was a remarkable man

So very sorry to hear of Armand's passing. He was a true gentleman. He would occasionally stop by and visit me at Atlantic Aviation where he kept his airplane many years ago. We would go to lunch at one of his favorite restaurants Il Gemelli.
I will miss his visits and know he is reunited with his beloved wife who he adored.

My condolences to all.
