he had seen on a map. He was a devout family man, helping to
raise his two children Matthew (1985) and Gina (1987) both born
in Red Lake, Ontario. Michael put the needs of his children and

as a businessman/ entrepreneur and owner-operator for 41 years

many in north London as the white-haired gentleman who played
the harmonica at Loblaws when providing entertainment for the
mezzanine or when collecting for the Salvation Army kettle campaign
in the store's foyer. Ken took pleasure in writing frequent letters
to the London Free Press Editor and was an enthusiastic member
of the Northpark Senior Men's Breakfast Club. He was a loyal
Detroit Tigers and Red Wings fan. Also an avid car race enthusiast,
Ken attended the Indianapolis 500 thirty-seven times. Ken was

Westman had passion for putting customers first
By Joe MATYAS,
Sun.,
May 18, 2008
Before value-added became a buzzword, Ken
WESTMAN was known to
go to his store after-hours to satisfy the purchase needs of
a regular customer.
"He had a good relationship with his customers and he liked to
keep them happy," his son, Barry
WESTMAN, recalled.
"He'd work six or seven days a week if it was necessary," he
said.
WESTMAN died recently at 81.
In 1954, he opened an independent after-market auto parts and
accessories dealership on Oxford Street East and for more than
40 years competed against retail giants such as Canadian Tire.
Ken Westman Automotive Ltd. operated at three Oxford Street locations
over the years, using lower mark-up and personal service to offset
the advantages of the big stores.
"Custom cars are a passion and my father understood that. He
loved to talk cars with customers," said his son.
Regulars often drove in from Exeter, Saint Thomas, Stratford, Strathroy
and Woodstock.
Stock car drivers from the United States, who raced at Delaware
and Nilestown, often visited
WESTMAN's, too.
"Dad had a great sense of humour and he was very opinionated
that was part of his appeal," said his son.
"He loved London and he was always advocating for ways to make
the city better," said Helen, his wife for the past four years.
Free
Press readers also knew
WESTMAN as a prolific letter writer,
whose wide-ranging topics included dog droppings on streets,
hockey brawls and hospitals gouging visitors for parking. The
newspaper published about 70 of his letters between 1995 and
In his last letter last November, he urged city council to put
more emphasis on public-works spending in the wake of a watermain
break that caused a sinkhole at Dundas and Wellington streets.
WESTMAN was married to Audrey Jean
HARITON for 44 years. For
many of those years, he made an annual trek to the Indianapolis 500
car race, sometimes with family, sometimes with Friends.
"He loved the Indy," said Barry
WESTMAN. "He got hooked on it
the first time he went."
Everywhere the son went, even to this day, he's asked: "Are you
related to Ken
WESTMAN?"
"For me, it's the inevitable question and I'm good with it. He
was a great, loving dad and a very good provider for the family,"
he said.
WESTMAN was a charitable man who annually volunteered at a Christmas
collection kettle for the Salvation Army, said Helen.

WESTMAN,
Alvin
(July 7, 1927-April 14, 2008)
Al always said he lucky on the 7th day, in 1927. We were ones
to have known was born 7th month the lucky him. Al had an uncanny
knack for understanding people, which served him well, working
with his grandfather on the farm or working on the railroad,
to where he finally found his true calling, selling real estate,
which lead to starting his own house building company. Wrapping
up his career as co-founder and Chairman of Jayman MasterBUILT
- pretty good for a fellow with a grade 8 education. What made
Al special was his common sense approach, his ability to understand
people, his strong intuition. Al always knew something was up,
much to the chagrin of his 3 children, Jay, Diana and Janet
daughter-in-law Karen
WESTMAN; son-in-law Ken
JOSEPH; five grandchildren,
Matthew, Nicole, Sarah, Weston, Tanya and her husband Chris
two great-grandchildren Paityn and Caleb. With his wife of 53 years
Beverly, who predeceased Al in 2003, they traveled the world
together, not just once but twice. When he was not cruising in
style you could find Al fishing in his favourite place on his
boat in the Okanagan. When he was not doing that, his other passion
was his business, he loved it, whether he was at home or the
office; we always continued the discussion over dinner, lunch
- just about anywhere, anytime. Al had strong life values which
were evident by the trust and longevity of business associates,
lifelong Friendships and family. A humble man who was known to
express in his own way 'pinch me'; who said 'I was born lucky',
that is the one thing he got wrong We were the lucky ones!! Those
wishing to pay their respects may do so at McInnis and Holloway'S
Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W., Calgary, Alberta)
on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 6: 00 p.m. A celebration of Al's
life will take place at Spruce Meadows Stables (Congress Hall)
on Monday, April 21, 2008 at 2: 00 p.m. Forward condolences through
