I’m sad to share that Henry Posner Jr., one of my good friends and a person who also has been my mentor in business for the past 30 years, passed away yesterday at the age of 93. I first met Henry when I was employed at WPGH-TV in the late 70’s and he later became the primary investor and majority shareholder in PMI, when I began this business in 1985. If it were not for his financial backing and support for the 15 years that followed, PMI would not be where we are today. Even when he was no longer involved in this company, he was always concerned about our success and would never hesitate to offer sound business advice when we’d get together periodically for lunch.

A kind and gentle man, with a brilliant entrepreneurial flair and a philanthropist’s heart, Henry is no doubt advising many in heaven today what their next business move should be. Thanks Henry for all you did for me, this company and the lives of many people here in Pittsburgh and around the world. Without question, you’ll be missed my friend.
