After much consideration, finally I am writing to inform you all that I have decided to retire from my position at Dudek & Bock.

Reflecting on my over 48 years at Dudek & Bock, I am proud of the progress we have made and the successes we have achieved together.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone I have working with for their unwavering support and friendship. It has been a pleasure working with such a talented and dedicated group of individuals. But it is time for me to retire to spend more time with my family. My last day of working that will be on Friday May 29th 2026.
