Great article detailing our story from Hannah Gershowitz and Respect My Region. “He freaked out and called his dad, and his dad went, ‘Mitchy, Mitchy, Mitchy. Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it in the morning.’ And sure enough, the next morning at 6 am, he gets a call that his dad just had a stroke and he’s dead. The stress over his son’s arrest killed my grandfather. He died at the age of 45. He never wanted my dad to be in college. He was like, ‘What are you doing with this school thing? Come on, drop out. Help me run the liquor store. We’ll do a father-son business.’ And, you know, he never got to do that with his dad." From tragedy to triumph, read the full VERDI story below https://lnkd.in/eDB934EB
