Everyone always forgets that our HVAC business started with the three of us.
I still remember our old buddy Dwight, he was a great HVAC technician.
Dwight, my brother Mark and myself were a great team but Dwight was the best of us. He had technical skills as well as people skills. He was the complete HVAC tech professional. I’m glad my brother and I have a bit of a skill set because if we didn’t then our HVAC company probably would’ve failed months after the passing of Dwight. It’s still unfortunate to think that it’s been 5 years to this date since it happened. It was an unfortunate car accident that did him in and I heard it wasn’t painful but still the pain of him gone lingers in Mark and me. I still remember the laughs we had when it came to cookouts or days at the beach. His favorite thing outside of being an HVAC tech was to teach people the HVAC business. Other HVAC companies tried to recruit him and pull him away from the company we built but he stood tall with us and we made a successful life out of it in large part due to him. He did help other companies train their staff before he started this HVAC business with us. He was well known and some companies wanted to hire him out of state. I stand above his tombstone, with a tear slowly rolling down my cheek, smiling and thinking about him. This man, Dwight, is the reason I’m successful and one day my children will be successful.
