Mr. Hirose gave me my first job at the Greater Winnipeg Gas Co. after hearing I was having trouble finding my first job after high school. I was always so thankful. I worked there for almost 5 years with some interesting people. I remember he gave us some fish that was so delicious and beautifully prepared. It was filleted to perfection into bite size pieces and the layers were separated by wax paper. There was not a single bone to be found. Melinda has passed the news on to our family. You were a wonderful neighbour and a great boss. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Alvina Thompson nee Guenther (Neighbour and coworker) on: Jul 30, 2016
