Perry will remember me as a former employee of Formrite Tube in London, Ontario. I began my career there in 1984 (25 years so far) as a truck driver and stayed with the company up until the Siebe Corporation buyout and was eventually laid off in 1998. I had moved from London, Ont. to Michigan in 1990 and worked out of the former Auburn Hills head office of Formrite. I know Perry will also remember Paul Mendonca who I went to High School with.

My wife of just over 15 years and I live in Plymouth, Mi. and I have been in the automotive car haul business for the last ten years. Unfortunately I missed the recent “Dirty Jobs” episode but I’m sure I’ll catch it as a rerun in the future. I was recently doing a Google search of former friends and employers I used to know and low and behold several pictures of Perry and the olive business came up. Ah… the internet.

Reading the various reviews and plans for the future it all seems to be going well and hopefully less stressful than the automotive supply business was. Formrite was quite an industry in it’s heyday. I occasionally have the opportunity to travel to and from the west coast and if I get the chance I’ll try to make a stop at the Olive Mill.

I wish Perry and his staff a bright future and continued success.

Just in case Perry doesn’t remember me I was the good looking one always hanging around Marilyn’s desk waiting for paperwork. LOL!

Have a great holiday with your family.
