  • Notes 
    • **********
      The following is from the True reference, written by Evelyn Carol True.

      Dad was the youngest of 9 children. He was also the only one to go to college. He graduated from Bentley College in Waltham" Massachusetts in Accounting. He stuck with his first employer, The General Electric Company for a life-long career of 47 years. Often being relocated. At the time of his retirement he was Assistant Treasurer of the International General Electric Company. Places he lived and worked were: Scotia/Schenectady; Glenside/Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Brideport & Nichols, Conneticut- Bridgeport Plant; Niskayuna, Schenectady New York & Pittsfield, Massachusetts; Scarsdale, Westchester, New York & Corporate Headquarters on Park Avenue, New York City.

      Upon his retirement, he and his beloved wife Erma moved to Northfield, Franklin, Massachusetts, USA where they renovated a big old house at 160 Main St., which had been built as a wedding gift for the town doctor. The property also had a barn & carriage house. Dad built a Trout Pond down in the marshy section of the pasture. He kept it stocked for his pleasure.

      Upon the occasion of the medical crisis of both Erwin & Erma in April 1991 the decision was made to close their home in Northfield and move them to the Hanover-Lebanon New Hampshire area. At first Dad was at a nursing home, Hanover Terrace and Mom in the adjacent assisted living home, The Greens. It was decided that a home would be purchased for them in Lebanon New Hampshire at 1 Garnet St. Their daugther Evelyn Carol True had assumed their care from early on their illnesses. The house was staffed round the clock 24/7/365 until the death of Erma, August 23, 1993.

      They moved into their new home on 1 Sep 1991 and Dad died 12 days later. They were reunited, after having been separated due to the crisis, since April of that year and enjoyed a few last days together, reminising, & listening to their record collection, with Dad tapping his foot. The day before he died, Mom had come home from a trip to the beauty parlor, and Dad said, "Isn't my wife beautiful?" He also enjoyed watching his favorite team the "Red Socks" the night before he passed. They were a month and 12 days short of celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary.

      Per his prior request he was cremated and his ashes are buried in Center Cemetery Lot 195 SE corner, Northfield, Franklin, Massachusetts.

      Per Researher and his daughter, Evelyn Carol True
