Once Janet arrived on the Queen Mary from Nottingham England they were married on April 7th, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario. Paul then started at Nestle Canada. He also had a part time job in the early 1970’s at Ryerson College at night, teaching data processing, to help support his family of 5 children. Eventually Paul retired from Nestle Canada as sales manger in 1988.
In the early 60’s Paul would pick up the mail form the train in Huntsville and deliver it to the post office in Melissa, Ontario. Where in 1963 Paul and Janet built a cottage on Ripple Lake just north of Huntsville, Ontario where they enjoyed the cottage life until that little cottage was turned into a brand new home for retirement in 1988 on Ripple Lake. They both enjoyed retirement with family and their many close friends. Paul always loved listening to his wife Janet singing by the fires on the lake or from their view on the front deck over looking the breath taking sunset on Ripple Lake.
