Lionel graduated Dalhousie University with degrees in Chemistry in 1935 and 1938 which led to careers in explosives and later in nylon. Retired in 1972, he famously drew his pension longer than he worked. Lionel was an original who made many friends in his travels. He will be cremated in Ottawa but his wake will spread far and wide. Raise a glass in his memory!
