ÉLIÁS TIBOR: Dobos C. József, a halhatatlan cukrász - Dobos könyvei

sorozatos kudarca is. 1980. április 7-én váratlan szívroham végzett vele. Beteg, mozgásképtelen felesége három évvel élte túl. Dobost a családtagok is különc, magának való embernek ismerték. A munkája volt a mindene. Kilencszobás Kecskeméti utcai lakásukban öt szoba választotta el családjától. Mindig teljesen egyedül étkezett a nagy Dobos C. lózsef leánya, lozefin lózsef C. Dobos' daughter, lozefin pedantic with regard to his private dealings. In his wellorganised and disciplined private life, he placed the greatest emphasis on eating and clothing. He didn't drink wine, he only tasted it. He had no vices. He knew no woman until he became married. His wife, Mária Landhaller was the daughter of a family from Ógyalla (now Hurbanovó in Slovakia).

He was born in Budapest in 1911, his father, Miklós Barta was a master locksmith and later an independent trader. Miklós studied to be a toolmaker - including a period studying in Vienna - and received his master's certificate in Budapest in 1942. After the outbreak of the war he worked in an arms factory, from where he was removed in 1944 because of his anti-German views. He took an active part in the resistance movement as part of the so-called Kelemen group near Pesthidegkút. After the war, he was employed as a photojournalist and later as a subscription fee collector, finally working as a technician at the Ganz Electrical factory in Buda from 1950 until his retirement.
