Monday, February 06, 2017And I think as a Catholic, Christ’s teachings has made me well-equipped in this business.”Feb. 7 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Paul O’Connor Funeral Home in Scarborough, in Toronto’s east end. O’Connor said it feels like he and his wife, Margaret, haven’t really stopped working since they first opened the building in 1967. Both are now approaching their 90s, but they still come in to supervise the daily operations of the funeral home, which is why the anniversary came as a bit of a shock.“What I have now, I never dreamed I would have 50 years ago when I first started,” said O’Connor. “I’m very pleased with what we’ve done and it’s well beyond my dreams.”O’Connor never saw himself doing anything else. His father was also a funeral director. The family lived above the funeral home and growing up, he and his four siblings would help run the business.He remembers working at a funeral Mass at 7 a.m., before being dropped off at school. After school, he and his two older brothers would help their father pick up the bodies from a home or the morgue, dress the bodies and set up the caskets.“I really didn’t think anything of it. That was the way we were brought up,” said O’Connor. “When I was in high school, I didn’t have to bring a letter or anything because my teachers would all know my dad needed me on funerals on particular days of the week. I found out 30 years later that a lot of the students didn’t like me because I got to miss school.”O’Connor officially became his father’s apprentice at the age of 18. He was earning about $5 a week.

Joe Scarborough cited multiple unnamed sources in claiming Conway went "completely rogue" by attacking Romney and that Trump was furious as he still mulls the big foreign relations post.A Cuban-American journalist's impassioned post-Castro takeAchy Obejas is a wonderfully talented writer and former longtime Chicago Tribune reporter who directs the M.F.A. in Translation program at Mills College in Oakland, California. She was born on Cuba, was taken out at age 6, returned later for a few years, then went back to Chicago. She feels strange, relieved, sad. She'd been waiting so long for Castro’s death, now it's come to pass."Fidel didn’t merely contain multitudes: He took all of our destinies and redesigned them. Who would I be if Fidel’s revolution hadn’t happened and my parents hadn’t left? Who would those who remained on the island be if those of us who left had stayed by their side? Who would any of us be if Fidel hadn’t caused this rupture in our lives?""After all the headlines and the shouting, after all the calls from all the places we Cubans have been scattered, this is what haunts us."
