Tony's Entry for the Memory Book for the 2008 Reunion:
After Don Bosco, I attended UWM and had a part time job working for a refrigeration and air conditioning supplier. I became interested in the heating, air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration trade. I then transferred to MATC and enrolled in their HVACR course. It’s funny how a part time job turned into a lifetime career.
I also joined the Wisconsin Air National Guard, went to their eight week refrigeration, air conditioning tech school and served six years as refrigeration, a/c specialist. Over the years, I worked as a service department dispatcher for two major commercial refrigeration service contractors in the Milwaukee area. For the last twenty one years, I worked for the Gustave A. Larson Co., a Midwest HVACR supplier headquartered in Pewaukee, WI, eighteen of those years as the Milwaukee branch store manager until retirement.
I have two daughters and two grandsons living in the metro Milwaukee area. About eleven years ago my wife, Lois and I purchased a condo in the Green Lake, WI area and moved here five years ago after we retired from our jobs in Milwaukee. We enjoy traveling, hunting, fishing, and not having to set an alarm clock anymore for work!
