The 40th Anniversary Of Chef Boyardee's Death

The 40th Anniversary Of Chef Boyardee's Death

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

DEDICATED TO ETTORE BOIARDI (1897-1985) WHO DIED ON JUNE 21, 1985

"
He was a terrific and skilled Italian chef.
Forty years ago, he took his final breath.
On June the 21st of 1985, Ettore Boiardi passed away.
He was born in Borgonovo, Val Tidone, Italy and moved to the USA.
At the age of 16, he arrived at Ellis Island on a French ship.
Now millions are eating his food because he took that trip.
He turned out to be a businessman who was shrewd.
People ate at his restaurant and they loved his food.
It was natural causes that caused Boiardi's death.
Millions are thankful because of that Italian chef.
