I may be biased, since I used to frequent the store in the 1960's~quite frequently.
I'm happy to hear that Mr. Roche is still there and doing well. I still have all the goodies I bought way back when, Irish music/records, clothing, etc... the only things that have long been gone are to foods!
I haven't lived in SF for years, but often thought about the little store and Mr. Roche.
I hope he continues to prosper!
