HOUSTON Houston is mourning the death of a man who brought the city one of its most cherished establishments, Three Brothers Bakery.
Sigmund Jucker passed away peacefully Friday at age 98, according to the family. He was the last living co-founder of Three Brothers Bakery.
Sigmund and his twin brother Sol Jucker and younger brother Max Jucker opened Three Brothers Bakery on Holman Street in Houston on May 8, 1949.
He recalled earning $19, which would be a little more than $200 in 2020, on their first day.
For more than 50 years, Sigmund worked side by side with his brothers, brining delicious kosher-style pastries, cakes and breads to several generations of Houstonians.
