Chef Paul Denamiel from Le Rivage on Restaurant Row posted this tribute to his father on Instagram yesterday. “Au revoir Marcel. As most of you know my father passed away on the 18th of August. Marcel lived his life on his terms. He believed in hard work, discipline and respect for one’s craft. His greatest accomplishments were his grandchildren, his son and the respect of his peers, in that order. Marcel’s mark on the city of New York has been and will remain a source of inspiration and a reflection of the American dream so many aspire to. It is already difficult to contend with all the people he touched. I will miss him very much,” said Paul. May he rest in peace.
