• Notes

  1908 - Edward A. Rieder - 1966 Edward A. Rieder, chairman of the board of directors of the Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada, passed away May 23, 1966, following a lengthy illness. The fortitude with which he faced the ordeal of his illness and the courageous way in which he continued to devote himself to his company's affairs as long as he was able to do so have commanded the unreserved admiration of all who knew him. Mr. Rieder was, by nature, reserved. He did not covet honors for himself, and he shunned the spotlight of publicity. However, imbued with a tremendous sense of responsibility, he brought to the offices which he held a wealth of dignity and efficiency. His judgements and decisions were always based on high principles. His quiet friendliness, his sincerity, his keen sense of humor, and his optimistic outlook will be greatly missed. He was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on October, 6, 1908, a son of Margaret M. and the late Talmon H. Rieder. He attended Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1931 with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce. He joined the actuarial department of the Mutual Life of Canada in 1931, and his entire business career of nearly thirty-five years was with this company. He became a Fellow of the Actuarial Society of America in 1937. He was appointed assistant actuary of the Mutual Life in 1938, associate actuary in 1945, actuary in 1948, assistant general manager and actuary in 1954, and vice-president and general manager in 1958. In February, 1959, he was elected executive vice-president, and in May of that year he was elected president, which office he held until he was elected chairman of the board in 1964. Mr. Rieder was a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. He was also a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and a past president of its predecessor organization, the Canadian Association of Actuaries. He was a past president of the Canadian Life Insurance Association and served with distinction in this and other capacities for the Association. He is survived by his mother; his wife, formerly Jean Rudell; a son, Thomas; three daughter, Sally, Mardi, and Janet; a brother and a sister - to whom our sympathy is extended.
