Admin History/Bio: Joseph Bernard Dunkelman was born on 18 December 1911 in Toronto. His parents, David Dunkelman (1883-1978) and Rose Dunkelman (née Miller), were married on 19 January 1910. Originally from Poland, David came to Canada with his parents in 1895 and settled in Toronto. Rose was born in Philadelphia in 1889 and moved to Canada at the age of thirteen and resided there until her death in 1949, at the age of fifty-nine. Her father, Harry, was an entrepreneur in the menswear business, and it was through his business contacts that she met and married David at the age of twenty. They had six children: Joseph, Ernest, Zelda, Veronica, Theodora, and Benjamin. The latter fought in both the Second World War and Israel's War of Independence.; In 1911, David Dunkelman founded Tip Top Tailors, a high-end men's clothing store, which currently has about one hundred branches nationwide.

The business was sold to Dylex, who subsequently sold it to Grafton-Fraser in 2000. Joseph used the money he received from selling his share of the family business to invest in a television and movie production company (possibly Sony Screen Gems).; Joseph married Jean Lenore Samuels (born 25 February 1912). Joseph and Jean had three children, Richard "Dick" Howard, Peter, and a third child who was handicapped and institutionalized.
