Dear Friends,
We are saddened to let you know that our longtime colleague and friend John Grad has passed away.
For many of you, the word colleague probably doesn’t adequately describe John, and it doesn’t for us either. His relationships were personal. Many stretched back years, and the people he worked with weren’t simply clients to him.
The same was true inside our office. John was part of the Buffalo Wealth Partners Family. He was a regular presence here, often wandering through the office to see who he could find to talk with and, more often than not, distracting us from whatever work we were trying to get done. Looking back, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We will miss those conversations, the interruptions, and, most of all, John.
For those of you who worked with John, please know that you remain part of the Buffalo Wealth Partners Family as well. Greg Oguich and Mike Makula will be taking care of John’s client relationships, with the support of our entire Team. There will be no interruption in the attention and care you receive from our practice.
John spent a lifetime building relationships. We consider it a privilege to continue caring for them.
With warmest regards,
John’s Buffalo Wealth Partners Family
