MARTY STRUB knows one thing very well: pickles. His family name still lives on jars of kosher dills – a family business that dates back to its launch in a Hamilton backyard in the 1920s. Strub has lived in one square mile for most of his life. He grew up in Westdale with his parents and two brothers and raised his own three children there, too. Strub went to Westdale High School and earned a degree in religious studies from York University before serving as production manager at Strub’s Pickles until the business was sold in 2008.
