Mr. Roy Jehu - Riverside Mfg. President

Mr. Roy Jehu - Riverside Manufacturing

*

Roy Jehu served as president of Riverside for many years throughout the 1970's and 1980's. He hired his son-in-law David Rednour in the late 1990's as an engineer. In 2002, Fred Merritt purchased Riverside Mfg., and Roy retired in the mid 2000's.  Fred Merritt had the privilege of working along side Roy during that transition, and over time he developed a deep admiration for him, coming to see him as a father figure. Roy Jehu shared everything he knew about business with Fred. 

Decades later, Riverside Mfg. has grown tremendously from its early days in the 1940's as a small took and die company.  In honor of that legacy, Fred wanted to surprise his mentor Roy with a professionally commissioned portrait.
