Always loved seeing Aaron and Margaret at various events. He was such a class act and a joy to talk to. Much love to Aaron´s family.

I met Aaron through Ozzie Feo who worked with him around 2004. At the time, I worked with San Jose Magazine and was visiting Ozzie while on vacation. I was invited to a sales meeting with Ozzie, and met Aaron and the sales team. I was amazed at the content and the ad sales volume Tampa Bay created throughout the years.In my view a top notch publication! When I was in Florida in 2023 on business, I drove out from Orlando to visit with Aaron at his office. He was still plugging away on deadline, getting that next issue out to the printer. We had a very nice visit that day. You will be sorely missed my friend. Attached is a pic from my last visit.

Aaron was a delightful one of a kind man. He and Margaret have lifted up so many fine organizations in Tampa Bay magazine. Their friendships knit together our community. I'll miss his friendship, his optimism, joy and humor. My prayers are with Margaret. Yours, Beth Houghton & Scott Wagman
