SOUTHAMPTON One year during the holiday season, Don Puza, owner of Puza’s Pure Food Market, learned that a customer had no family members to help her put up Christmas decorations. Puza immediately stepped up to help, said Vicky Puza-Allen, his daughter.
“My father came home and said, ‘We’re all going over to her house and putting her Christmas decorations up,” Puza-Allen recalled.
