He is survived by his brother George (Mary), his sister Julie and his brother John (Rose); his brother-in-law Boris Luhowy; Stella's brother Ed Rozwood, sisters, Anne and Ollie and numerous nieces and nephews.

He took great pride in the business, he enjoyed serving the public, aiming to please his customers which earned him respect.
