Also our Disciple Friends from all over Canada and the U.S. He was a good and likable man always ready to help, he saved many soles for twenty years on Ottawa Street, and many young cooks asked his advice on cuts of meat and how to prepare them. In his lifetime he began working at the larger chain stores Dominion Loblaws and A&P and then in many specialized gourmet shops. He loved fast cars and he loved to tinker with them. He made lifelong friends and he loved to take each of his children separately to the warehouses on Wednesday afternoons for a special treat. Daddy was special!
