UPDATE: Boston Metro eulogizes Tagliaferro.
Earlier today, Anthea noted the absence of the normal Metro guy at the Davis Square T stop for the past two days. The Somerville Journal tonight posts a photo of a simple sign posted in the T stop:
In memory of David J. Tagliaferro, 1945-2012. Rest in peace, David, you will be missed.
In 2007, Boston Magazine profiled Tagliaferro.

My hawker's fine.
How's yours?
Because the Metro hawker I see every day at Davis,
is a middle aged deaf black woman, who is super nice and always waves hello. And she was just fine, as of this morning. :shrug:
He was on the other side
Dave distributed papers on the Holland Street side. The woman you're talking about is on the College Ave side. Dave has been handing me my Metro everyday for 4 years - he was so nice. Always cheerful with a "good morning", and on days when I was running late and he saw me coming down the escalator while he was going up on his way out, he'd always reach over and hand me a paper. Always said hello when I saw him out and about in Davis Sq as well. He'll be sorely missed.
thank u
Thank u all so much for the kind words my father loved his job and friends he saw every morning. God bless Debbie and Daves grandson Jakob
RIP
On another note, I'd like to givea shout out to JoAnn at North Quincy.
I'm pretty grumpy in the morning but she always brings a smile to my face.
Sad
It's sad to hear about him passing, though I always avoided taking a paper from him and felt kind of awkward about it.
