Ralph Mandel

On behalf on my father Mark and Ann Mandel we are saddened to hear of Ralph's passing. When living in Toronto many years ago I would often stop at Modern Laundry to go to lunch..two Ralph's. As you should be aware Mark, Ralph and Sam Bresler were captured and sent collectively to Auschwitz and were Tatooed in sequence. The three of them separated, survived, went to Israel and then subsequently Canada. They were all successful, and great Canadians. May Ralph's memory be for a Blessing.

I am sorry that this message is two months late but I have just found out about the passing of Ralph. I am a tenant of Ralph's, living at his house on Walmer Road and even though I know Ralph had spent his last years in peace, I spoke with him a lot when he was still active running Modern Laundry. Ralph was a great guy, very kind and generous and he rented me a place at short notice on recommendation of a friend. Even though it has been years since I've seen him, I will miss his gentle ways. He was a kind compassionate man. Please accept my condolences to all his family at the sad passing of a man who earned the respect of everyone he knew. He will be missed.
