Canberra ice-cream lovers are mourning the loss of John Marshall, the man behind the wildly popular and inventive Mr Frugii creations. Mr Marshall and his ice-cream became an icon of the Canberra food scene, and he was able to count international celebrities like chef Nigella Lawson and German chocolatier Georg Bernardini among his fans. His death led to several tributes on Sunday, with many Canberrans recounting their favourite flavours at the Frugii Dessert Labratory. Mr Marshall ran the Braddon eatery with wife Ed and son Leon. His family posted an emotional tribute on the Mr Frugii Instagram page on Sunday morning, calling Mr Marshall a great husband and father and declaring they will cherish their memories of his “inventive and high-spirited antics”. “We are overwhelmed with [the] outpouring of love and respect shown to us. Thank you,” the family wrote.
