Born in France, lived in Alaska, Michigan, but mostly Pasadena, TX. Right across Spencer Hwy from Mickey Gilley's, '60's-'80's.

Started out as a bricklayer, now I fix medical X-ray machines, make amps, and write.

I was born at Bayshore in Pasadena. I think I was there as a kid when Gilley's burned down. Wasn't he a spokes person for Whataburger? Man I love some Whataburger!

Born in Waterbury, CT and live in Middlebury, CT.

My family has been in the funeral business for 67 years and I am a third generation funeral director.

We moved from our original location (still both in Waterbury), which is now in a terrible section of town and have been in our current location since 1995. We do very well in our new location doing 400 calls a year.

My family also just opened a second funeral home with a crematory in June of 2018. I run the main branch in Waterbury and my parents have migrated to the new facility. It's a lot of work and the hours suck but I like what I do.

I love it when it's dead quiet at work.

Always cool when people have heard of us. I tell people we are one of the biggest companies no one has heard of (unless you're in the industries we service). Great place to work!

It looks like Ecolab puked all over our facility. Lol! You should see what your product AC 55-5 will do to cast iron drains... Ster Bac can kill a large waste water plant’s bug life too.
