To Mrs Golo and Family:
Sorry to read about Mr. Golo, he was an inspiration to me at a young age. I went to work at the Orient Theater, he and his family taught me a lot about responsible and work ethics. I went by the Orient last night and it brought back a lot of good memories. God bless Mr. Golo.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Golo. He was an inspiration to me and helped me in my formative years growing up at Signature Finance. Many fond memories of his kindness and his sharing abilities. He was truly a wonderful man. I learned a lot from him. I know he thought the world of you Mrs. G, always speaking fondly of you. You both are in my prayers. Fondly, Elaine
