Jorma came into Costco every day to eat our samples. I don't think he missed a day in the 5 months I've worked there lol. He was such a delight to all of us, and I was very sad to hear today that he passed. He seemed like a wonderful man and he will be missed by all of us simple girls!! I'm so sorry for your loss:(

We are sorry to hear of Jormaâ??s passing. We often saw him when we went to GP, in the Mall, Superstore or Costco. We would chat a bit and catch up on each otherâ??s news. I think it was last Christmas time he was singing carols at the exit of Costco beside the Salvation Army kettle collecton. We will miss seeing him around.
