My deepest condolences to the family. I met Eli in early 1970 at his restaurant on Rideau street when I was a traffic motorcycle officer with the Ottawa Police. Eli was a great man with a good sense of humour. She had so much good times during that period. Eli you will be missed. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
