Popular Metro Hawker in Davis-- RIP

[emcicle.livejournal.com]

Maybe many people already knew this, but I was surprised and saddened to read in the Metro that my family's favorite Metro Guy (Dave Tagliaferro) died over the weekend. He worked the early AM shift on the Holland Ave side of the T, and would always spend a minute or two talking to my 3 year old daughter when she got her Metro. This morning she actually asked me where he was, because it was someone different. And then I read the article.

Anyways, thought others might be interested to know. He was a really nice guy, and we actually saw him around in Davis proper as well (at CVS, the famer's market, just walking around, etc).

Also, recommendations besides craigslist of where to spam this info would be great in the comments.
