How very sad to learn of the passing of Mansour. We made so many visits to the restaurant with our family. We also celebrated many special family occasions and always so well received by Mansour. He was such a gentleman and so kind. Our sympathy to his family.

Norma, Dan & Julie,

I worked with Mansour for quite a while. Dan, we used to have a lot of fun, especially when I would get your father to yell at you. We had a lot of good laughs and Julie witnessed some of our fun. Your dad will be sadly missed.

My Heart will be with all of you,
Love, Jane (Sandy as your father called me. and (Duckie as Danny called)
