Thank You All

On a warm summer day in August of 1984 my career in the power washing industry began as an entry level employee for RAHSCO Mfg. Company. My job consisted of testing new pressure washers prior to their delivery to the new owners. Coming from a background in high speed manufacturing of beverage cans for the previous 18 years this wasn’t much of a challenge considering I had been supervising a multibillion dollar operation with more than a hundred employees. So needless to say I quickly became bored with my newly found career and began looking for a way to utilize my past experience to bring growth to my new employer. I continued this cycle for 26 years. Times changed, faces changed, people prospered, companies grew and some people left the industry. The industry has grown stronger and will certainly outlive those of us who cared for it in its infancy. Now nearly 27 years from that August day it is time for me to bid a fond farewell to the thousands of people that have been so good to me over the years and to thank you so much for making my life in the power washing industry such a happy one. The month of December will be my last to work in this industry. I will try to monitor the industry bulletin boards and will be reachable through my facebook page should anyone wish to discuss pressure washers or anything for that matter.
Till Then

Larry,
I am happy that you are going to retire and enjoy lots of free time, but I am also saddened that I wont see you at the various industry gatherings where we, in the past, have met somewhat regularly. The industry will miss you, as you are known by all. Your presence will be missed but you will be thought of often. Don't be a stranger my friend, stick your head in the door whenever your are around, you will always be welcome.
 
Larry, you are among the pioneers in the industry. I'm very glad I got to meet you face to face at Steamaway. Best of luck in the future, and enjoy your retirement.
 
Larry,
Thankyou for all you have done for so many people in this industry. Along with Robert Hinderliter, Joe Walters and a few others I consider you a Giant and a Legend in this industry. I'm glad I met you in person at a couple of the PWNA Conventions and even though our Conversations were short because of all that goes on at these shows I haven't forgotten them.

You deserve to have a happy and healthy retirement because you sure as heck earned it by touching so many peoples lives.

Like Ron says stop in anytime and if you are ever up in NY and you need anything always feel free to call.
 
It was great talking to you at the round tables and on the phone Larry.

You are a great person, you will be missed.

Enjoy your retirement but visit the bbs's once in a while if you can.
 
In 1984 I was still in High School...enjoy Larry.
 
Larry you have done much to make the industry stronger than it was when you arrived. It was a pleasure meeting you in Charlotte last year and I wish you the best of luck in your retirement.
