BJ mailing room retiree Ted Kanter passed away Thursday, February 10. His
wife, Jean Figel Kanter, passed away in 2011.
Ted retired from the BJ mailroom in 1989.
Jean was Goodyear executive secretary for 44 years when she retired in
1991. Jean and Ted were born in Akron and spent their entire lives in The
Rubber City.
Theodore R. Kanter (Americanized version of his parents’ surname of
Kantorowski) was among 773 names in the 1981 BJ employee directory (yes, I
counted every name carefully).
The 1959 BJ mailroom list included Kanter,
Theodore, 1625 Highvlew, PR-3-2537. You’ll notice they still were
using letters at the beginning instead of the current all numbers for phone
numbers.
