Lionel C. Bergeron: Lionel "Bucky" Bergeron, a retired Westinghouse Electric Co. superintendent, died Monday of cardiac arrest in Linthicum, his home for 38 years. He was 81.
A native of Chicopee, Mass., he was educated there and worked at a Westinghouse plant in Chicopee Falls. In 1939, he moved to Baltimore and lived with the family of his future wife, the former Yvonne Helen Brunelle. They married in 1940.
Mr. Bergeron began as a machinist and became a shop supervisor before moving into the industrial relations position in the 1960s, first at Washington Boulevard and later in Linthicum.
He worked 48 years for Westinghouse before retiring from its industrial relations department in 1986, Mrs. Bergeron said. For 22 years until his retirement, Mr. Bergeron was the company-wide superintendent of suggestions.
He enlisted in the Army and served from 1944 to 1946 as a sergeant in Korea. He was a member of American Legion Post No. 195 and of the Veterans Association of Westinghouse, of which he was president. Mr. Bergeron also was Scoutmaster for eight years for a troop at St. Benedict Roman Catholic Church.
A funeral Mass was offered Thursday at St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, with burial with military honors at Meadowridge Memorial Park in Elkridge.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Bergeron is survived by two daughters, Louise "Cookie" Hickman of Kent Island and Elaine McGee of Harmans; three grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
