The Byron Shell Station lessee from 1958 to the mid-1960s was Byron resident, Clare Scalfe. It was taken over by a man named Biggar until 1967. Then, Gary DeGraw became the new owner until 1986. Gary loved to work. He had a strong work ethic and was the epitome of ‘true grit.’ While operating the Byron Shell Station in 1972 -1973, Gary ran the ‘Pop Shoppe’ on Wharncliffe Road. Gary’s son, Darryl, took over the operation until Bill Vine stepped in. Wayne Howie bought the company in 1994 and has run it as Byron Automotive with hard work, integrity and heart ever since.
