Hans and Marvis, My condolences on the passing of Emil. I remember visiting the bakery back in 1986 or so and meeting Emil and Helene and them sending Debra and I away with many sweets. And then I met my partner and found out that his family (Bauman) frequented the bakery in Mayland Heights as well. Brenda Kruppi
