The Canadian swimming pool and hot tub industry lost a veteran this month with the passing of Wynn Corney on July 9.
Corney was president of W.C. Marketing in Hamilton, which provides manufacturers cross-Canada representation to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and distribution markets. He was actively involved in the industry for more than 30 years and was a long-time supporter of the Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada (PHTCC) and the Canadian Pool & Spa Conference & Expo.
Corney was also an integral part of Praher Canada Products’ success since joining the Barrie, Ont.-based pool/spa valve manufacturer as a sales associate in 1987, said the company’s Jacqueline Lavis.
“His dedication to succeed, along with his warm, approachable and easy-going character, was his vital attributes, which enabled him to create strong and lasting relationships,” added Lavis. “He will be sadly missed and remembered by all of us.”
