John McMULKIN, 92: Steelmaker
Engineer 'was a giant of the Canadian steel industry'
By Allison
LAWLOR,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S8
Events that transpired following a research trip to Austria in
the early 1950s turned a Hamilton-based inquiring metallurgical
engineer into a pioneer of modern steelmaking. Called "the father
of oxygen steelmaking in North America," John
McMULKIN convinced
the managers of Dofasco in 1954 to invest in a new process that
would not only catapult the company into a major Canadian steelmaker,
but at the same time revolutionize the industry.
As the inaugural head of Dofasco's research department, he travelled
the world in search of new technologies. Aware that Austria and
Germany had been developing techniques to use oxygen in the steelmaking
process during the Second World War, he decided to visit Austria
in the early 1950s to see what it was all about.
"He realized it [the technology] was going to be a breakthrough,"
said Norm LOCKINGTON, retired vice-president of research at Dofasco
(now called ArcelorMittal Dofasco).
Like most North American steel firms at that time, Dofasco was
using an open-hearth furnace to make steel. In that process,
carbon-rich molten iron is burned in gigantic open hearths for
hours to allow the carbon to burn off and produce steel. In contrast,
Austrian steelmakers had discovered that pure oxygen blown into
the furnace at a high pressure dramatically accelerated the process.
What would take up to 16 hours to produce in the old open hearths
took half an hour in the oxygen furnace, Mr.
LOCKINGTON said.
Mr. McMULKIN returned to Canada excited by what he had witnessed
in Austria and was impatient to try it at home. He ran trials
at the plant in Hamilton and successfully persuaded his superiors
at Dofasco to install a basic oxygen furnace in 1954. When the
furnace churned out its first batch of steel, Dofasco became
the first company to apply the technology outside of Europe.
"Within 10 years, steelmaking had changed," Mr.
LOCKINGTON said.
Before long, companies across the United States were knocking
at Dofasco's door, anxious to learn how they too could implement
the new technology.
The oxygen furnaces - which today stand five storeys high and
hold enough steel to make 200 cars - remain the common standard
for steelmaking around the world. More than half of Dofasco's
steelmaking today comes from an oxygen furnace and the remainder
from an electric arc furnace.
"He was a giant of the Canadian steel industry," said Gordon
IRONS, director of McMaster University's Steel Research Centre.
"He put Dofasco on the map. Before he came along they were a
small company, but they became a large, successful company that
put a great emphasis on research and development."
Raised in the steelmaking city of Sault Ste. Marie in Northern
Ontario, John
McMULKIN was an only child. His father was the
well-regarded owner of a dry-goods store who was also active
in local politics. After receiving a scholarship, young John
headed off to the Michigan College of Mining and Technology,
where he studied metallurgical engineering.
After graduation, he returned home to work at Algoma Steel. He
later joined the Ontario Research Foundation in Toronto, where,
during the war years, he worked on plate welding for light armoured
vehicles. In 1945, at Toronto's Deer Park United Church badminton
club, Mr. McMULKIN met his future wife, Margaret. A year later
they were married.
Immediately following the war, he went to Dofasco in Hamilton
on a research fellowship. A year later, he joined its staff and
was asked to start up a research department. By his retirement
in 1985, he had 80 people working with him.
"He was a one-person research department in the early days. He
could just make things happen in a hurry," Mr.
LOCKINGTON said.
"He was sometimes frustrated that things couldn't happen as fast
as they did in the early days."
While some considered him gruff or impatient, everyone respected
his knowledge of the industry, his dedication to his job and
his intelligence. "He had an inquiring mind and a very brilliant
mind," said his wife, Margaret
McMULKIN.
While basic oxygen steelmaking remained the crowning achievement
of his career, Mr.
McMULKIN would go on to make other major improvements
in steelmaking. Under his guidance, Dofasco became the first
company in Canada to add an electrolytic tinning line used to
make tin-plated steel for tin cans. He is also credited for developing
Dofasco's mining properties.
While he retired in the mid-1980s, he continued to stay abreast
of new advances in steelmaking. He often visited his old office
and still felt connected to the company. As much as he was fascinated
by the science of steelmaking, he liked people just as much.
"He was the kind of person who saw it as his role to mentor young
people," Mr.
LOCKINGTON said.
Aside from being awarded an honorary doctor of engineering degree
from the Michigan Technological University, Mr.
McMULKIN also
received almost every award available from steelmaking industry
associations.
Francis John
McMULKIN was born on December 7, 1915, in Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario He died February 18, 2008, of prostate cancer.
He was 92. He leaves his wife, Margaret, and children Bruce and
Mary McMULKIN.

BUTLER,

Leonard
Died suddenly on June 30, 2008. Besides his beloved wife of 69 years,
Viola,
Len leaves his two adoring daughters Linda
BUTLER of Richmond
Hill and Eleanor
McMULLIN
(Fred) of Oakville. He was also the
proud father of a son Keith (Cindy) of Ottawa and grandfather
of Kate IISAKA
(Ken) of California and Sam
BUTLER (Erica) of
Saskatoon. Len was great-grandfather of five wonderful children,
Ansel, Sara, Fiona, Rhiannon and Evan. Born April 13, 1912 in
Finedon, England, he was orphaned at 15 and emigrated on his
own to Canada shortly thereafter. He worked several years on
Ontario farms to pay for his passage and then attended the Ontario
Agricultural College at Guelph. Later he pursued his doctorate
in biology at the University of Toronto. A summer tennis game
at the Experimental farm in Vineland introduced him to his inseparable
partner for life, Viola
MYERS.
Together they moved to Winnipeg

CAMPBELL,
Ronald McLachlan
Ron's last flight left Victoria at 2220 Thursday, March 13, 2008.
The first child of "Sandy" Alexander McLachlan and "Lil" Christian
CAMPBELL,
Ron was born in Calgary, Alberta on May 29th, 1915.
Due to the demands of the First World War, Sandy registered his
elder son's birth as the 30th of May - perhaps that explains
why Ron was usually early and never late.
Ron was predeceased by his beloved "Pudding", his adored wife
of over 60 years, Phyllis Sara
CAMPBELL in 2006. His brother
Ken and sister Betty also predeceased him. His passing leaves
a deep hole in the lives of his children of the heart, Hilarie
McMURRAY and her partner Jack
LITWINOWICH of Victoria and Steveston,
British Columbia, Bill
McMURRAY, his wife Mary and their children
Scott and Elspeth of Senneville Quebec. His nieces of the heart
Joanne TUSTIN of Victoria and Debbie
TUSTIN of Duncan grieve
the loss of their Uncle Ron. Also left to mourn are his baby
sister Margaret
STEVENSON of San Diego, California, his sister-in-law
Helen CAMPBELL of Victoria, his cousin Bea
WARD of Sidney, his
brother-in-law Alan
KIMBER and his wife
Roberta of Lethbridge,
Alberta and Ron's special Friends Bruce and Carol Gowans of Calgary,
Alberta and long time friend George McMurray of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Ron leaves many Campbell and Kimber nieces and nephews and grand
nieces and nephews across Canada and the United States.
Ron was a pioneer of Canadian aviation, graduating in 1933 from
the first Aircraft Maintenance course at the then Provincial
Institute of Technology and Art in Calgary (now SAIT). He
and his friend Sheldon Luck made the first night flight over
the Rockies in 1935 from Williams Lake to Calgary - Ron struck
and held the long Eddy matches so Sheldon the pilot could see
the compass in their single engine Puss Moth. Ron went on to
a stellar career with Trans Canada Airlines and Air Canada. After
Ron won the heart of the prettiest load agent in Canada, Phyllis
KIMBER, they were married in Montreal in January 1946. Ron and
Phyllis had a wonderful life together in Montreal and Toronto
and Victoria - it was in Toronto in the 1950s that they first
spoiled Hilarie and Bill
McMURRAY which began a lifetime of unconditional
love and support. After leading the team to introduce the 747 to
the Air Canada fleet, Ron retired from Air Canada in 1975. That
same year Phyllis and Ron drove across the country to their new
home in Broadmead. Together, they travelled the world, visiting
the then Soviet Union in the 1970s and taking two trips to China
in the 1980s.
Ron was an old fashioned gentleman, always impeccably dressed
and unfailingly polite - we will hold in our hearts and our memories
the image of Ron's beautiful smile and his tip of the hat.
The family would like to thank the incredible staff of RP1 at
the Royal Jubilee Hospital for their loving care over the last
5 weeks. For the past year Ron enjoyed his life at The Peninsula
in Sidney, British Columbia - his caregivers were wonderful,
in particular Ian. Thank you. And a special thanks to Chris Chilton
and Anne Moon for being such good Friends to Ron.
There will be no service at Ron's request. Later this year, Ron
and Phyllis will be buried together in the Kimber family plot
in Lethbridge, Alberta. If you wish, the family would appreciate
memorial donations to the Salvation Army or to The Mustard Seed
Food Bank.
