In Memorium

I’m sad to announce that my partner and Solid Cactus co-founder, Joe Palko, lost his father Thursday morning (Feb 19). Mr. William Palko, 86, was a veteran of WWII and Korea and passed away after a brief illness. He and his wife Gertrude have been married for over 50 years and have one son, Joe. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Solid Cactus team are with Joe at this time. Messages of condolences may be sent to Joe here.
