Ned" (1916-2008)
John
Edward
(Ned)
REHDER passed away at Leaside Retirement Home
on Wednesday July 9th, 2008 after and long and valiant struggle
with dementia. Born in Bowmanville in 1916, he worked for the
family business, The Bowmanville Foundry, until attending McGill
University to study metallurgy. He graduated in 1943 and married
Jocelyn BOWDEN.
They took up residence in Windsor, Ontario until
moving to Ottawa, where he worked for the Canadian Government
at the Dept. of Mines and Metallurgy doing research and development.
Later he moved to Montreal to take up the post of Vice President
of R&D for the Canada Iron Co. While working for this firm he
won the Peter L. Simpson gold medal from the American Foundrymen's
Society. He stayed with Canada Iron until the 1960's when he
left to work for himself as a Consultant. He and Jocelyn divorced
in 1973 and in 1975 he moved to Toronto and continued his consulting
business. In 1979 he married his second wife, Mignon
ELKINS.
Upon his retirement he was invited to the Department of Mines
and Metallurgy at the University of Toronto as a research assistant.
This involved doing work with the Department of Archeology, a
subject that gave him the chance to indulge in his passion for
history, with particular interest in the Minoan culture. Ned
had over a thousand papers published in various trade magazines
and journals, and, at the age of 85 had a book "The Mastery and
Uses of Fire in Antiquity" published by McGill/ Queens University
Press. It was re-published in paperback two years later. He leaves
behind his five children from his first marriage; Christine

and following a brief stint working for the Australian Consulate
in Washington, D.C. during the war, she and Bruce settled in
London, Ontario where they raised their family until moving to
Vernon in the late 1980's. Phyllis was an avid reader of fine
literature, but was comforted most through regular reading and
devotion of the scriptures. In her quiet moments, Phyllis entertained
herself and others by playing all time popular music of the 40s
and 50s on her piano. Phyllis had a quick wit and was a formidable
and hilarious player of Scrabble. She was a devoted wife and
mother to the very day of her passing. We are all very thankful
to have been blessed by her sense of care and love. The family
wish to extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the
caring staff of Vernon Jubilee Hospital and to the excellent
care provided by her physician, Doctor David Naismith. Friends and
family are planning a celebration of Phyllis' life to be announced
at a later date. In lieu of flowers and other tributes, people
