Mr. Hegadoren worked as the College Porter at Lady Eaton College from November 1, 1971 until July 1, 1992. Over the years, he was a champion of students, and Lady Eaton College in general. Most importantly he was a mentor and a loyal friend and colleague to many. He loved Trent University and the many friends that he made along the way.
