SAGAR Corp (key machines) owner died...

[Peter Martin]

At the age of 17, Aaron Fish started his own business with $20 and a bicycle, pedaling key blanks on Saint Laurent Boulevard.
In 1965, he founded Unican Security Systems Ltd., where he engineered and developed the very first push-button lock for Bell Canada.
In 2012, Fish authored the book Under Lock & Key, The Unican Story.
No mention that he was also president of Sagar Corp in Worcester Mass though.

not sure if you noticed in the article, but it was 2 years ago, not just recently.

You're right. Thought it was more recently. He was also the President, not the full owner of Sagar Corp.
But a bummer because nobody is left with any equipment manuals or plans.

Now that I dive a little deeper -- you did some research a few years ago and posted that Mr. John Sagarian, the "owner" had died in 2014 also.
