Napoleon worked for our company as a caretaker at the 123 Sutherland Avenue apartments for 8 years. He was always conscientious, honest and a caring person. Many of the tenants who did not have transportation or were short a few dollars could look to Napoleon to help them, which he did out of the goodness of his heart. He put up with a lot in his role...I told him he should write a book about some of the shenanigans that went on! Although I was his "boss", I considered him a friend as we shared our respective struggles not only with the building but also with life issues. I am sorry to lose him as I'm sure all of his friends and family do as well. Rest in Peace ! - Posted by: GARRY MARSHALL (Former employer & friend) on: Nov 25, 2019
