30 YEAR CLUB — RECOGNITION OF EMPLOYEE SERVICE

MARCH 2018 – At the 2018 Annual Kalkreuth Company Meeting, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) recognized employees who have been with the company for over 30 years and welcomed them into the ‘30 Year Club’.

One of the longest working employees is Bill Sokolowski who began working for KRSM in 1981. Bill started as a roofer and worked in several transitional roles including Inside Coordinator and Wheeling General Manager, and he is now a Senior Estimator. “Planning jobs and seeing them take off is my favorite part about working for KRSM,” said Bill. He has worked in many departments within the company and understands it in-side and out. Some of his marquee projects include Ford in Norfolk, Virginia and the Health Sciences Building at West Virginia University.

Stan Gorczyca also began working with the company in 1981. Beginning in the yard loading and unloading material, Stan worked his way up the ladder to a roofer and is now a Senior Project Manager. The PNC Tower in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Harrison County Courthouse in Cadiz, Ohio are just a couple of the many large projects that Stan has been involved with. “I am proud to say that I have worked for the company for a total of over 35 years. With everything we have been through, it is amazing to see where we are today,” said Stan.

Chuck King started working for KRSM in 1982 as an apprentice in the sheet metal shop where he eventually worked his way to the field. He is currently a Journeyman Foreman. Chuck has worked on many high-profile projects including the Baltimore-Washington International Airport in Baltimore, Maryland and Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH. “I owe it all to Jim and John. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” said Chuck.

In 1985, Greg Owens began working for KRSM in the sheet metal shop as well. He is now a Journeyman Foreman. Greg has also worked on numerous high-profile jobs throughout his years including Mt. Olive Prison in Charleston, West Virginia and Larkins Hall at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. “I enjoy what I do so much. There are so many different projects that are more technical and challenging,” said Greg.

Ohio Division Manager Pat Hurley also began in 1985. Pat started working in sales throughout college and eventually transitioned from running the sheet metal side to establishing the Maryland office and finally man-aging Ohio. Some of his key projects include the Franklin County Court-house in Ohio and NBACC at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland.

Sheet Metal Division Manager Ed Gavorcik from Adena, OH has also been with the company for over 30 years and began in 1986 as a Sheet Metal Apprentice. “Between new products and the different varieties of metal used, no day is ever the same. It’s satisfying working through challenges and John and Jim have been great throughout the years” said Ed. Some of the large-scale projects that Ed has been involved in includes Ohio University in Athens, OH and Cincinnati University Tegument in Cincinnati, OH.

“We sincerely appreciate your hard work and dedication over the years; we wouldn’t be where we are today without each and every one of you,” said company Chairman John Kalkreuth. “I know I can count on each of you to do your job to the best of your ability, and that is invaluable,” said KRSM President and CEO Jim Hurley.
