Thanks to all of my curious friends who check in on me occasionally. Dad started this company in 1956. In business for 70 years come this summer.
His first project was to build a house for some friends. It was in the country along Versailles Road in Lexington. It belonged to Grant and MaryAnn Fox. My sister Cassandra was born while he was installing the masonry, making it easy to date our beginning .
That country home site is now inside of New Circle Road and the home has been demolished for new development.
Dad passed in 1992, running the company for 36 years. 2026 will mark 34 years for me as head of our company.
God has been so kind to allow us to stay in business for 70 years. I have met many kind and wonderful people over these years. But the best was the man who began it all. He was honest, fair, demanding and generous .
Since his passing , several men have gone out of their way to let me know how much my Dad meant to them. One even walked onto a job site just to tell me that he was the nicest man he ever worked for.
God has also blessed me with many talented and hardworking employees. I would not be where I am without them.
But after 70 years, 2026 will be our last. Like that first home Dad bulit for his friends, I am getting old and it’s time to make room for what comes after.
Retirement for now, but I’m ready for what comes after that too. Kind of looking forward to it, truth be told. You see, my Father promised me that He is already building a place for me. No, not my Dad, my Father. It will never get old. It will never need my “restoration skills.” It will last forever.
2 Corinthians 5:1
For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Is He preparing one for you? Hope to see you there!
John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
