MGF, Master Grumble Framer
The man I worked for when I first got in the framing business (and the 8 years that followed) passed away Tuesday. Vity Anish died at the young age of 85. Vity, along with his son Wayne ran a first class operation focused on outstanding customer service and great quality frames.
He wil be missed by those that new him and certainly by me. He tought me many things and valuable lessons that I know I will never forget. He provided me and my then fiance` some great opportunities to get our lives started. And for that, I can't thank him enough. I was fortunate enough to have seen him just 2 weeks ago. He was out in the front yard raking. He looked great, but said that he had not been feeling well. "I'm not as young as I used to be, you know John" He said to me. I reminded him that his father lived to be 98 and his mother was a young 102.
He asked me how my new store was doing? "How's the shop?" he said with his naisely voice.
"Great" I said. "You know how it is in July? Not a lot of framin' goin' on now."
" I remember. We did pretty well in the old days, huh?"
We sure did Vity...we sure did.
