My condolences on Tillie's death. I was a busboy at Hoffman House when Tillie was Pastry Chef (down on Wilson St.) No one could make a better blueberry pie or cheesecake than Tillie. My father, Jack McKinley, was a chef at Hoffman House, and I know he had the highest respect and regard for Tillie as a person and as a professional.
May Tille rest in peace.
