Joe Battipaglia Passes

Sad news yesterday to hear Joe Battipaglia passed on. It was my great pleasure to meet him just last week at a conference in Pinehurst NC. I found him engaging, upbeat, and a joy to chat with during my brief time with him. The posting on April 7 entilted "Small Town Investor does American Idol" is actually about my meeting Mr. Battipaglia. Very surreal to realize that he was the person I was talking to just about one week ago. My condolences to his family and friends. I will miss seeing his regular visits, and great insights, on CNBC.
