Sad to hear of Wards passing and pass my personal regards to his family One door closes and one door opens is the saying and how true it is Out of Cliff and Walters under the leader ship of Dave Lake a few group of employees of which I was one joined a small printing company called Matthew’s Ingram & Lake and the rest is history Within a few years it was recognized as one of the top lithographers in Canada The company attracted some of the top people in the industry and clients were only to happy to print our facility We offered attention to detail and unparalleled customer service We attracted all the top designers and add agencies in the city The company grew and grew and eventually was purchased by Bell Canada and in than shortly flipped to the worlds largest print company in the world Quebecor who referred to us as their jewel Many years later Quebecor changes their focus to media and sold off their print assets and MIL was sold to a financial group only to run into issues with people not understanding the basics of what we we do and how we do it At the end of day Mil had around 200 people out of work and after some conversations with RR Donelley it was resurrected and continues to service the market as MIl RRD Terry Slater ran production at Cliff and Walters for many years before joining MIl The founding members Gay Matthew’s Bill Matthew’s Dave Lake and Terry Slater have all passed on to the print shop in heaven and many of us learned our craft and trade at Cliff and Walters and forever will be grateful

I worked at Cliff & Walters till March of 82 and it was a few years after that were still in business.
