Death Excerpt, 05 July 2008:
FINLAY, William John - 1930 - 2008 Formerly a Vice President and Sales Manager - Strathcona Paper Company Bill passed away peacefully at St. Mary's of the Lake, in Kingston, Ontario on July 4, 2008.........
Bill was the fourth generation of a paper-making family and when the Company was sold in 1974 to the Roman Corporation, it was the end of an era. It was the last of the independent family-owned mills of its kind in Canada. Bill stayed on with the Roman Corp., as a Vice President and Sales Manager until his retirement in 1988. He grew up in the village of Strathcona, and graduated from Queen's University, Science '54 (Mechanical) and the Western School of Business, London, Ontario. He took a keen interest in Masonry and was a life member and Past Master of Union Lodge No. 9, Frontenac District. He served as District Deputy Grand Master in 1981/82 and for many years enjoyed the camaraderie of the 81ders. He was a firm believer in Community involvement and for several years served on the Board of Governors of the Lennox and Addington General Hospital and was a past Chairman, he was the founding Chair of the Hospital Foundation. His Faith and his Church were very important to Bill and he attended and actively supported Trinity Church in Napanee for over 50 years. His sense of humour, quick wit and inexhaustible supply of puns will be sadly missed by all who knew him.....
