I retired in August of 2021 after 40 enjoyable years in the painting and wallpapering business. My foreman, Michael Wendorf, will continue the tradition of providing high quality interior and exterior painting and wallpaper installation at competitive pricing. Michael has worked exclusively for me as a painter and wallpaper installer for the past 30 years and he will draw from that experience as he goes out on his own under the business name Michael Wendorf Painting and Wallpaper. His brother, Peter Wendorf, will join him in the venture, as foreman, after also working for me for three decades.

I am looking forward to enjoying retirement and to pursuing interests and service for which I will now have more time. A big bonus will be being able to spend more time with my four adult children and my grandchildren. Since life is often a mystery I may be in for some wonderful things that I haven’t imagined. As I celebrate a new beginning, I look back with great fondness and appreciation for all of the wonderful people who I have gotten to know during my past four decades in business. When starting out, I had no idea that in terms of profits I would profit most from that experience with them. As another Bob used to say, "Thanks for the memories…"

Warm regards, Bob Van Gunten
