‘She’ is Els, the woman he was with for about sixty years, shared joys and sorrows and waved every day. “We never actually had an argument. She was fantastic, a super sweet, fun, happy and wise woman. She was always cheerful.” Aryan and his wife Els became world famous in our province and far beyond a few years ago. Hundreds of thousands of people watched a video about their daily waving ritual. Last year’s report in which schoolchildren put the couple in the spotlight also made a lot of waves and generated heart-warming responses.
