My father John Elley was the sanitary inspector for the Elgin St. Thomas Health Unit when John and Jeanne Jung arrived in Aylmer back in the 1950's. I think they were the only Chinese couple in Aylmer. My Dad who was truly colour blind went to bat for Johnny and gave him incredible help to set up his restaurant,the Capitol Cafe in keeping with all the regulations. John never forgot that and he was very kind and generous to us as a family. Jeanne was always there in the background,a solid rock for John to lean on. She helped out in the kitchen in so many ways. She will be missed not only by John but by the whole community.RIP.
