MY GREAT FRIEND AND FORMER COLLEAGUE

This is my former Tecnica colleague who was my very talented product manager and good friend (named Kevin), I still have good memories of going to the Tecnica headquarters in Italy with him and to introduce him to the Italian side of my family, he's also the one employee who remained alone in the Tecnica booth at the OR Show when I resigned to join TEVA and I guess he had to see and listen to the raging disappointment of the Tecnica owner and of the GM of its US subsidiary, I clearly remember in fact that when I gave my official resignation, Tecnica's owner had to leave the hotel room where we were talking about my immediate leaving the company saying that I had been chosen already to take the GM position in replacement of the current one, who was about to retire.
I also remember to introduce (or get him addicted to) Italian espresso and grappa that when mixed together form a splendid marriage.
Well now that he too lives in CA and is married he has given to me the type of help that is unique and - as the afterlife expert I've become - I can only say that his access to heaven is now guaranteed.
Given that he's in the process to relocate to SFO I told him already to make it a point to visit me because I can give very much and good advice to a new husband and potentially father.
My heart and mind go out to you Kevin, you helped me in my most both difficult and traumatic time in my life on earth.
