FREDERICTON A man in Fredericton, N.B. is set to celebrate a big milestone as he marks 47 years working for the same company. Gerald Gorman, 66, works at the Home Hardware store in Fredericton. On Friday, he will become the longest-serving employee at that location. I just came in looking for work one day and here I am, never went home, said Gorman. Over the years, Gorman says he has grown a close bond with many who visit the store. This is all like a family. My customers come here and I ve known them for years and years, Gorman explained. Now I m into second and third generation of my customers.
