I had the pleasure of working with Aaron and even though I only knew him for a short few months, I grew very fond of him. We made an immediate connection because of my Peruvian origin and his friendship with a Peruvian family, he loved Peruvian food. You are sorely missed Aaron, may God bless your soul and grant your family peace; gone too soon my friend.
