-Richard M. Gardner-
November 5, 1957 - December 6, 2003
Forever in our hearts
"Big Rick" Gardner went into business with Darlene, in the 80's. They started off as excavation contractors, and in the early 90's decided to incorporate septic services as well. Despite starting off with just the bare neccesities, he made it work- and always got the job done right. Over the years as the company grew, so did his positive reputation. Rick was known for his hard work ethic and no-nonsence frame of mind. He became a very well respected man by many- not due to his large gruff stature, but because he was intelligent and reliable. Big Rick left a lasting impression on many- far and wide- and because of that, his memory will continue to live on..
