Chuck Has A Job, Yippee!

Chuck found a job and he starts Monday from 9-5. My Lord opened a door for Chuck and I think he will really like this job. The paint career for Chuck started back in 1972, when he was 20 years old working for his parents paint store in Phillipsburg, NJ called Regent Paints. His parents bought the business from an old time Phillipsburg native who owned it, while Chuck's dad was working there for many years. The man wanted to retire and offered to sell the business to Chuck's parents.

Chuck was the manager of the store while his father did all the installing of floors, carpet and later on vinyl windows. Regent Paint was in business until 1983. That business supported us and his parents for 11 years. When the business went out of business, Chuck entered a new career with Sherwin Williams, a year later. He started at the Easton store as an inside salesman. Six months after starting there he was made Operations Manager of the store. I believe three years later he became the Manager of the Quakertown store, until he quit them. He was out of work for one week, when his old District Manager from SW called him at home and said the Duron Paint Co. was looking to hire him. He went out to Allentown and filled out an application and was hired on the spot. He worked for them for ten years, until last August. Three years ago Sherwin Williams bought the Duron Paint Co, because the owners wanted to retire, it was a family run business that cared about their employees. Since, SW bought them Chuck knew his career with the Duron Co. was limited.

After searching and searching for a year and trying one job at the Family Dollar for about three months, he has landed him a job with the Miller's Paint and Wallpaper Inc. He really likes the idea that they are a mom & pop business. The Miller family own five stores in the region from Easton to the Pocono's. He will basically be working out of the Easton store, but will have to travel to the Bethlehem store to help them.
