Served there 17 years ended as Gen. Foreman. Then to Galt Metal as shift Super. Then to Jemco Wiring as Manager. Enjoyed doing things, mechanical, that others could not do. Did most repairs on cars and home himself, and enjoyed talking to people in all situations, talking to them personally, or on his C. B. radios. Born while parents lived in a house beside the bowling green that used to be in front of the Dominion Tire rubber factory, on Strange St. in Kitchener beside the C. N. R. railway tracks. The house is now torn down and made into a parking lot along with the bowling green. The house was owned by the company as were all the others going up Strange St. to Glasgow, and then down Glasgow to the railway. When dad died we were forced to move, down Strange St. to the white house beside the Kitchener waterworks station at the lower end of Strange St. near Victoria. Number "35"- the house is still there. (1988) Worked as the chairman of the Loans committee of the Electrohome Credit Union for about 3 1/2 years when working at the Electrohome as a Supervisor. Spent about 17 years at Electrohome. Started in stores dept. and shortly moved to production as a Group Leader. Shortly after made Supervisor and after several years was made General Foreman of own dept. Health is fair with too much high blood pressure and arthuritis and rheumatism pains but am still working at 69 but have promised mother we will retire at 70 hopefully with our van paid off. Van paid off in 1993. Lorne Umbach
