“It’s time to step aside and let the younger leadership rise to the top. It’s been a good ride for 40 years, and I am grateful for having the opportunity to serve as president. Many relationships were developed and some fun times were had along the way. I will still maintain a seat on the Board and have nothing but respect and high regards for all employees, owners, and of course, our representatives to continue to flourish into the future and keep Cyclonaire strong.



Congratulations to all promoted, and I wish you the best.”
