was formerly a commercial fisherman, member and past-president
of Branch #185 Royal Canadian Legion; and had the honour of being
named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce. He

O.J. VIDLER's legacy lives on in Erieau
By Megan O'TOOLE,
Free
Press
Reporter
O.J. VIDLER loved spending time with his spaniel, enjoyed a good
baloney sandwich as much as fine dining and wanted to join the
navy so badly, he lied about his age to enlist.
He also owned an impressive collection of paintings by D.L. Rust
of a clown named Emmett Kelly. An entire room of Molly and O.J.'s
Restaurant-Tavern and Motel in Erieau -- a business developed
from the ground up, and expanded over the years by the
VIDLER
clan -- is dedicated to Kelly, with portrait after portrait of
the sad clown staring at diners.
VIDLER died June 4 following a heart attack, but left a remarkable
legacy. It resounds most significantly in Erieau, along Lake
Erie south of Blenheim in Chatham-Kent.
O.J.'s sons, Tom, 44, Dana, 53, and Jim, 56, recall their father
as a compassionate and energetic businessperson.
"He would never retire," Tom said. "His business was like his
child. He'd come out for two or three hours every day and just
talk to people... he always had his finger on the pulse of the
restaurant. It was the personal touch."
"He mingled, walked around -- that's what people like," Jim said.
"He'd sit down and talk to you, buy you a drink; if you had a
special occasion, an anniversary, he'd buy you a bottle of wine."
Born
Oliver
James
VIDLER in 1927, O.J. lived in Erieau for most
of his life. On a quick stop-over in Belfast, Ireland, he met
and married the woman who would become his wife of 57 years,
Molly McCOY.
The couple soon moved back to Erieau and established a small
fish shop, which evolved into a larger grocery store, then a
coffee shop and finally, the operation it is today, encompassed
by the Vidlers' hotel and campgrounds.
The business earned Molly and O.J. the Blenheim Chamber of Commerce's
Entrepreneur of the Year award in April.
"Dad was pretty proud," Jim said. "They had a big awards banquet...
the whole family went out and had a great time."
A longtime member of the Blenheim branch of the Royal Canadian
Legion, VIDLER was also its president in 1961.
Though he spent most of his time at the restaurant,
VIDLER --
who joined the navy at 17 -- never forgot his service days, nor
his pals in the Legion.
"Every Remembrance Day, all the veterans and people on parade
were welcomed into the restaurant," recalled Robert
BURNS, 51,
chief steward of Branch 185 in Blenheim. "O.J. would supply everyone
with food and beverages.
"He wasn't a very big guy in stature, but he had a great sense
of humour. He could turn a line with anyone, he spoke to everyone
he treated everyone the same."
The VIDLER family will continue to operate Molly and O.J.'s.
"I've already had people say, 'What's happening, is the business
going down?' " Dana said, with just a hint of indignation.
Pausing, he added, as if to be sure everyone else is sure: "Of
course it ain't."
