I'm so sorry to hear that. Smiley Sad

 

He is the owner/founder of one of the remaining singly owned department stores in the country. To be able to do that in today's climate of retailers says a lot.

He founded Boscov's and has pancreatic cancer.  His son is CEO now:  dad said the stores are in good hands.  He plans to open 2 new stores this year.  He told his employees and closed with " Love you all ! "

 

I remember seeing  a photo of him on Thanksgiving Night when a store was open.  He was there working along with everyone else.    Definitely not an undercover boss !!!!!!!!

That is too bad!  I wish him and his family all the best and sending prayers.  I love this store --- well I only buy on line as we do not have one locally.
