R.I.P.

Today I dedicate my blog space to Alex, Alex Franzidis. On Saturday I will attend his interment, he was sixty-four and expired from pancreatic cancer.
Alex was my regional manager at Astral Photo for many years. In the time we shared together, I was his communications guy for the stores in our region, more importantly I was a store manager, who answered to him.
Alex had the gift of being able to pat you on the back and say “well done” More importantly unlike other supervisor guys he wasn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves and say “let’s get it done”
Many times my joy was to see his tail lights leave the parking lot, but when all was said & done Alex was the best boss I had, rest in peace Alex & thank-you
