In life sometimes things just click. That was exactly the case with Aaron & Co. co-owners Barry Portnoy and Richard Laudino.
Portnoy recently reflected on his business partner, who died in early February after a year-plus-long battle with cancer at the age of 62. Laudino, his brother, Frank Jr., and Portnoy represent the second generation of family ownership at the Piscataway, N.J.-based distributor.
