Horace Edward Goneau was Chief Operating Engineer of the 91TV's Heating Plant on King Street from January l961 until July l982.
As part of his job, Goneau would demonstrate how a boiler works to Mechanical Engineering students, for which he was paid a small stipend.
During Goneau's time at 91TV's, a large smoke stack was constructed for less pollution, the heating plant was modernized from coal burning boilers to oil/natural gas boilers, various energy-saving measures were instituted, and the line that takes heat to west campus along Union Street was put in place. These projects still endure today.
His son, William Freeman Goneau, graduated from 91TV's in 1972 with a degree in Mining Engineering.
Goneau is buried in the Cataraqui Cemetery.
