Phil Ambrosi, #726
Assessing his work at Ambrosi Printers, Circa 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

This was posted in the old LetPress group on the UNB.com listserv system this evening:<\/p>\n

“Hi everyone, this is Gregg Ambrosi, Phil\u2019s son. My dad passed away on June 4, 2025 at the age of 90 years old. He owned and operated Ambrosi Printers in Regina Saskatchewan from 1929 (his dad started the company) until 2014. My dad worked there 6 days a week from the time he was 16 years old until he retired at the age of 79.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Phil was a friend of many of us older members, I am sure, and many emails, especially on the LetPress List, and even phone calls were exchanged over the years with his heavy scottish brogue.<\/p>\n
