My uncle and my dad (his two sons-in-law) worked for him as sales manager and plant manager, respectively. We all lived near each other in Laval, Quebec, but when he retired and sold A.R. Lite Manufacturing to Ecko Canada, my uncle and his family moved to Toronto. Both men eventually went into business for themselves. My childhood home was full of his locally made pots, pans, bread boxes and step-on trash cans (Sani-Queens). Thanks for posting this.
