  4. Hello John, My Uncle Fred did not die until 1997, he was alive and well when Oneida went under. My Grandfather Walter who ran the business for the last 30 years actually died 6 months before Fred. Walter was 78, Fred was 95! They actually had to sue Oneida for the last bit of money that was owed to them from the sale. And they won and Oneida had to pay although they tried hard not to.

  6. They did sell to Oneida, my grandfather was Walter Dorn he owned Dorn’s transportation. They sold the business. My father Robert Dorn and grandfather did sell the trucks under the name Dorn’s fleet Maintenance. But Dorn’s Transportation in-fact did sell in 1981 to Oneida, for around a few million dollars. Then Oneida went out of business.
