scheduling ship and rail traffic to ensure quick turn around of ships and rail cars. Reg later joined Minerals and Chemicals in Montreal and performed similar fiinctions for the shipping of minerals and chemicals on a world wide basis

He married Dorothy Hutchinson in Montreal in 1956. Dorothy later joined Royal Trust in Montreal. Reg and Dorothy became the proud parents of 4 children:

Steven an accountant is married, has two boys and works for Sun Life Financial in Toronto.

Reg always had a keen interest in sports and continued to be involved in hockey in a recreational league for many years while coaching minor hockey teams in the Two Mountains area where he lived. He also coached his son’s ball and hockey teams. Above all he was a family man: proud of his wife and children and attentive to his parents and brothers. His brother Bill speaks with fond remembrance of Reg and his family coming home to Rusticoville each year which would coincide with a two week celebration for all the family. There was clams and oysters for the picking on the shore at their back yard and neighbors boats to borrow for a trip on the water. Even introducing Reg’s wife Dorothy to raw oysters when she had eaten only the fried kind turned out to be a hilarious family event.

Stephen, the second oldest son, says there were two prominent characteristics about his father that he remembers well: his fathers love of sports and his active involvement as a volunteer, and his father’s love for Prince Edward Island which they visited almost every year. Two great memories Steve and his brothers and Sister have are: Reg teaching them to dive off the Rusticoville Bridge which was no small feat afier swimming only in pools in Montreal; fishing for smelt each morning at 7AM during their vacation in North Rustico Harbour at the lobster cannery.

Reg developed cancer and died June 16, 1989. Dorothy died six years later.
