It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Raymond Howarth Porter in his 85th on Monday January 6, 2020 in Clearwater Florida.

Ray spent his entire 49 year working career at Ontario Electrical Construction Company Limited and served as President until his retirement in 2003. After retirement, he retained the role of Chairman of the Board until 2014 and was still an active Board member at the time of his death.

Paul Lew retires January 31, 2020
A retirement luncheon was held at the Toronto office to celebrate Paul’s 19-1/2 years of dedicated service to the firm. In his capacity as Truck Driver/Warehouse Lead, Paul was responsible for maintaining equipment and insuring our construction sites had the necessary tooling to complete projects. His positive outlook and smiling face will be missed around the office, as will his home-made sushi that he regularly shared in the lunchroom. Everyone wishes Paul and his wife May a long and healthy retirement.
