Not sure what to say?

John was my landlord. He was always very nice and especially sweet to my children. Every time we came to the Goulash place to pay the rent, he would have a Kinder Schokolade ready for each of them. He always had something nice and something funny to say. He was a very kind man! May his soul RIP

My condolences to the Aczel family and that Mr.Aczel was a wonderful person so gracious to all his customers. I was at the grand opening of Goulash Place when they opened (1977) it was BYOB at the time , this little restaurant opened on a residential street , it had us intrigued. Myself and a couple of friends brought a bottle of wine, I had never had Hungarian food before , from that point on I fell in love with Hungarian food . To this day Hungarian food is my favorite food and I owe it all...

We were very saddened to hear of John's passing. We , along with all of our family, went to the Goulash for many family meals and always enjoyed sharing stories with John. We had a good time when he brought Isabelle and Andrew over to our beach. We will miss him. May he Rest In Peace.
