Biographical history
Herbert Bernard Sturgess was born in the north end of Kinsgton (a fact he is very proud of), in his home at 37 Dufferin Street (now the sight of a large grocery store), 17 June 1936. As the house was directly across the street from Robert Meek School, he did not have far to go to attend classes. With the untimely death of his father, Herbert Georege Sturgess, at age forty-four, Herb Sturgess at fourteen, was forced to look for work in order to help support his mother and siblings. Herb Sturgess passed away 17 June 2011.
