Toronto Icon Dead at 92

Honest Ed Mirvish, the man responsible for saving the Royal Alexandra Theatre from demolition, died early this morning at St. Michael’s Hospital. Despite all that, he is perhaps best known for giving away turkeys at Christmas time at his discount store Honest Ed’s. He was truly a hero of his times and his death will be felt by many.
