My deepest condolences to the Loeb Family on your loss. I started to work for the Loeb family on Industrial Ave since 1970. David and his brothers were always so caring and gave me opportunities and a healthy environment that made me happy to go to work each day. Arthur you even worked with me in the summer when you had a part time job in payroll. Your family will always be remembered for the great contributions that you gave to Ottawa. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
