ST. JACOBS, Ont. ― Ray Gabel retired as Home Hardware’s senior merchandise advisor at the end of June, the company revealed this week. Gabel spent more than half a century at Home Hardware, joining its predecessor Hollinger Hardware in the summer of 1950. Present at the 1964 meeting that brought Home Hardware into existence, he took over a purchasing role with the new company. A series of positions led to his appointment as VP of merchandise in 1979, and he moved into his most recent role in 2015. Gabel is a 2007 inductee of the Canadian Hardware & Housewares Manufacturers Association Hall of Fame.
