“Chief was an incredible mentor to so many of us. His smile lit up any room and inspired us everyday. I had the pleasure of working with him at the liquor commission. He will be sorely missed. I feel honored and lucky to have known him and learn so much from him. He was also a good friend. Pam Paziotopoulos”
