As a teenager, my grandfather left his messenger job @cibc to join @CanadianArmy in #WW1. I'm told that he never spoke about his time in the trenches. He kept souvenirs of peace, not war. The message he typed & carried to the front announcing the cessation of hostilities. 1/4

As a child, Myer Horowitz - then my Mom's boss - always made time when I came by his office after school. And his much-cherished handwritten notes have marked many life milestones. I will very much miss his wise counsel and big heart.
