Hello and my condolence to you all. When I first moved to Toronto to do medical residency at the Western hospital in 1995, I lived at 279 Palmerston Ave. As such, I frequently visited the store and I remember Mr Rego very fondly -- it is so nice to see his picture here! I played a game with him called (by me) "Stump Mr Rego" in which I would request some obscure product that I wanted and ask if he had any. Suffice to say, I don't think I ever won that game -- he'd shuffle through the shelves and invariably find one of whatever I was seeking -- maybe it was brand new, maybe a dusty 20 yrs old! Plus, I could get freshly-plucked chicken wings from the butcher at the back of the store! I remember those days with great fondness and know that having the store so close to me and the kindness of the family helped me in my difficult adjustment to Toronto and the stress of residency. I am saddened to hear of his death but am pleased to learn that he has left such a loving legacy behind.
