Last car rolls off line
By NORMAN DE BONO, The London Free Press
It truly is the end of the line.
The last car rolled off the line at Ford of Canadas StM Thomas assembly plant at about 11:30 this morning, surrounded by about 600 workers, retirees and others who came in just to see a bit of history.
"It is sad, very sad," said Simon Jacco, who retired in 2007 but wanted to be there at the end.
"I just wanted to be here for the last time. This place paid my bills, put kids through college, it was great. I feel lucky I was here but I feel for these guys who are out of work."
The line needed only about 300 for the last day, but more than double were on site, just watching, added Craig Cormier, a welder.
"St. Thomas will be devastated. It is awful, I just wanted to be here to shake some hands."
