Ron WYATT:
Pilot,
Farmer and
Insurance
Agent
He didn't just become a pilot - he covered them
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Ron WYATT turned two of his hobbies into a lucrative business.
A private pilot and weekend farmer, he joined the Flying Farmers,
a club made up of full- and part-time farmers who flew their
small planes from private farm landing strips and other small
airfields across the country. Soon, he wasn't just flying with
them - he was covering them through his small insurance agency,
which expanded into aviation almost exclusively.
The Flying Farmers first got off the ground in the United States
in 1945, but the idea soon spread north - the Saskatchewan chapter,
for example, was started in 1955 when an American member on his
way home from a fishing trip stopped to refuel in Estevan, Saskatchewan.,
and started chatting with the locals.
The
Ontario club was started in 1963 by Peter
IRWIN, an Air Canada
pilot with a farm just north of Toronto's airport. That year,
there were 50 members. Mr.
WYATT, who flew a two-seater Piper
Tri-Pacer, soon joined.
He set to work remedying one of the problems with private aviation
at the time: finding insurance.
"Back then, insurance wasn't mandatory as is today, but it was
more expensive if it was outside a group plan," said Barbara
CARROLL, who is the current president of Ontario Flying Farmers
and worked for Mr.
WYATT's company for many years.
"It also had to be a pretty specific policy," she said. "It covered
people with private planes who kept their aircraft on their own
property, in most cases, and flew from grass strips often to
larger airstrips. For example, my husband John flew his Aeronca
Champ from our grass strip to LaGuardia in New York."
The group policy Mr.
WYATT came up with saved the pilots at least
25 per cent. It kept the Flying Farmers covered and happy, and
also propelled his business into other aviation ventures. For
instance, he had a chance encounter with someone from the Soaring
Society of America and was soon insuring gliders and their pilots.
Insuring pilots and planes was a complicated business, Ms.
CARROLL
explained. Each state had its own insurance regulations, so Wyatt
International Insurance Inc. had to register in each of the states
where it did business. For a while, Mr.
WYATT had an office in
Britain, but he found it was a stretch.
He upgraded his own plane and bought a Cessna Cardinal, a more
powerful version of the popular Cessna 172, a four-seater, single-engine
aircraft. During trips to visit clients in the United States,
he took rides in gliders, although he never owned one.
"Have you ever been up in a glider? It's the most wonderful feeling,"
said Mary WYATT, who flew with her husband and accompanied him
on many of his trips. Mr.
WYATT sold insurance to almost 3,000 North
American glider owners before selling that part of his business
to a U.S. company in 1990.
The Flying Farmers business eventually dropped off. At its peak
in the early 1970s, there were more than 700 members of the Ontario
chapter, representing about 350 planes. Today there are just
128 members, with as few as 20 planes.
"Young people just aren't into flying the way their parents were,"
Ms. CARROLL said.
Ronald WYATT was born in Toronto in 1926. His parents, both from
England, were in bad financial shape and left their son with
a babysitter. When she died, he went to her sister, Margaret
WALLACE, and her husband Joe, who lived on a farm near Drayton,
100 kilometres west of the city.
Mr. WALLACE died when Ron was 12, and he and the woman he called
his aunt moved into town. After high school, Ron went to teacher's
college and started working at a small school near Drayton.
He continued teaching in other public schools and became principal
at Quaker Road Public School, near Welland, Ontario But he wanted
to make more money, so he took a job as office manager for the
Canadian Indemnity Insurance Co., in downtown Toronto.
Mr. WYATT rose to manager of personnel before buying a small
general-insurance agency of his own in the late 1950s. He ran
the firm from an office in Willowdale. In 1972, he bought a farm
in Zephyr, north of the city, and commuted to work. He later
moved his office to the farmhouse.
On his farm, he raised Appaloosa horses and rode with the Zephyr
Squires Club. He played the guitar, sang and performed with musical
groups, and was in the choir at the local United Church.
Ronald Arthur
WYATT was born in Toronto on August 12, 1926. He
died of a heart attack on May 30, 2007. He was 80. He is survived
by his wife, Mary, his daughter Mary Ellen and son Bob.
