It is with deep regret that I have to inform our RD&S Family that our founder, Michael Zion, passed this morning at 11:25AM.

Mike was a mentor to all who worked for him and one of those larger than life individuals.

His influence on myself and so many others is infinite and I personally would never have achieved my present position without his guidance and demanding nature.

He will be forever missed.

-John Payne

Congratulations, again, to our own Tom Sauer. Tom was one of the 2018 ARF Scholarship Awardees, an accomplishment that will be recognized next month at the IIAR Conference. RD&S would like to congratulate all of the 2018 awardees and wish the 2019 applicants luck!

RD&S shares the Christmas spirit with students of the Urban Promise school in Camden, NJ. Our employees and their family members contributed toys, clothing and other items for the school’s annual Christmas Promise store. This gift giving allows the students to wake up Christmas morning with presents under their trees!
