He was a simple, kind, and funny man. He didn't care for me taking photos of him. He preferred to talk and share his wisdom and humor.
But some things are worth revisiting on the holidays. So I hope the family doesn't mind I came back to share this for all the Gracians who will always miss this bakery downtown and the ENTIRE GOLL FAMILY for this gift.
I took the liberty of thinking you all might like a peek back into the best part of our ghosts of Havre de Christmas Past! And where ever any of you Goll folks are...just know....you are missed and still loved for almost 100 years of keeping us sweet.
Bobby Sr. loved colored lights. He is making cream puffs here. In the 1950s/60s Mr. Goll would make big vats of eggnog in the bakery and all their friends and firemen families would gather in the alley between the bakery and our house for a big holiday party!
Those Golls...it was perfect choreography when Bobby Sr., Jr., Susie, and the rest of the family were baking during the holidays.
