Because I am morbidly curious, I looked up the Hoffmans in the Toronto city directory. I found Aaron Hoffman at 263 Grace in the 1928 directory – he was working as an agent for Metropolitan Life. Irving first appears in the 1934 directory, at the same address as his father, and is listed as a tinsmith in the 1935 directory. So he seems to have survived his accident.
