Whilst it seems fair to say his longevity affords him status as a "pillar" of the ED community, it remains a shame that - behind all of this - his attitude to staff, taxes and property management left so much to be desired. Still though, when you're marking up huge profit margins on "organic" food bought from Costco, I suppose it's quite easy to get quite full of yourself. Nevertheless, sympathy where sympathy is due, a long-established ED family has gone out of business. Perhaps I recommend Chris speak to his son about trading in something more "exotic" than bananas?!
