••• Condolences to everyone at Marc Forgione, which posted this on its Facebook page: “Tragically one of our employees, Jose Cortes, was murdered last night. He was a father, grandfather and hardworking, respectful person. Although they caught the two people responsible, it does nothing to make up for this senseless act of violence. Please keep Jose and his family in your prayers.”
