My sincere condolences to the family of Sheldon. He and my Dad became friends at the Tim Horton's on Marcel Laurin. I had the pleasure of talking to Sheldon on several occasions, and he always expressed a great admiration for my Dad...similarly, my Dad always talked highly of Sheldon with me, and always told me that Sheldon was a very genuine human being, a true gentleman as John Kalomiris says. My conversations with Sheldon lead me to believe that he was a person with very high values. My Dad passed away on Oct. 28, and then, on Nov. 21, Sheldon joins him for a coffee...They were friends for only several years, but the way each talked about the other, it seemed they had know each other for a lifetime. All the best to those that had the pleasure of knowing Sheldon Cohen....sincerley, Dominic Potenza Jr. (Dic Ann's Restaurants)
