“[The family] refused to take no for an answer, nor would they accept any token of my appreciation…including free concert tickets for Tuesday night at the Budweiser Stage. They didn’t recognize me, and had no selfish motives…they were simply being nice,” Cronin said.
Cronin concluded that Toronto is a city full of kind people.
“We all need reaffirmation of the intrinsic kindness in human nature, and I got my daily reminder today in Toronto,” he said.
