Dave Karp, the founder of the beloved, family-owned business, Cole Hardware, passed away on October, 25, 2015 at the age of 99 due to surgery complications. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the annual anniversary sale in December will feature a tribute to Dave. The store will serve wine in his honor and reveal Dave's secret card tricks.
"Dave was a one man band: Every morning before work he would pick up merchandise at the supply houses and in the evenings, he would do all of his paper work. Dave ordered the merchandise, marked the merchandise, stocked the merchandise, helped the customer, rang up the sale, paid the bills, went to the bank, cleaned the bathroom… he did everything by himself."
