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).

One of my favorite people. This is so sad! He was always there with a smile and a kind word. I loved running into him out in the "real world" too!

I was shocked when I found out, via a memorial set up in the T station during his regular work shift yesterday. I was glad to see the metro article this morning. He was such a nice guy, and I'll miss seeing him during my daily commute.

Dave always made my day brighter. He was such a nice guy. This is indeed sad news.
Thank you to OP for sharing news of his passing.

Oh no! I used to love getting the Metro from him when I commuted by T. Thanks for sharing the news.
