I can't help you with your history but I have something you might be interested in. I grew up on Wolverleigh Blvd. in Toronto, down the street from your uncle. I was going through some old boxes and found a pair of my grandmother's glasses in a case with a cleaning cloth with your Dad's and your Uncle's name on it. You're welcome to the case as a memento if you want it. I live in Richmond Hill now and you can contact me at the address below.
