Notes |
- Ralph B. Doerr, 75, of 139 Wellington St. North, retired vice-president and general manager of the former C.H. Doerr Biscuit Company, died Wednesday at K-W Hospital. Mr. Doerr began his career at the age of 13 with the Doerr company, now Dare Foods Ltd. At 17 he became a salesman and traveled throughout Waterloo County with a wagon and four horses. He became manager and later vice-president until the plant was destroyed by fire in 1943. He was associated with this company 45 years. Later he became active in the life insurance business and was a member of the Production Club. He was actively engaged in the insurance business until two years ago. Born in September, 1885, in Blenheim Township, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Doerr. He was a member of Trinity United Church. His wife, the former Maria Seldon, whom he married in November, 1911, in Ingersoll, survives. Other survivors are three sons, Dr. Ralph S. Doerr, Kenneth S. and Douglas S., all of Toronto; three brothers, John of Waterloo, Clayton B. of Saskatoon, and Abraham B. of Bay City, Mich.; two sisters, Mrs. Louis (Priscilla) Dahmer of Kitchener and Mrs. Joseph (Clara) BuBord of Marmora, Ont. and one grandchild. The body is at the Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home where the funeral service will be conducted Saturday at 2 p.m. Burial will be in Mount Hope Cemetery. Rev. O.P. Hossie, minister of Trinity United Church, will officiate.
