I talked to him a few times over the years. A humble, very polite man who is already missed. When his cousin's store Bel Air Camera closed years ago, he found jobs in his store for all that he could. Years later when his Culver City store lost its lease, he moved all those employees to his other stores.

Rest in Peace.
