Tom Arunrung, who joined Dudek & Bock on March 16, 1978, will be retiring on May 29. It is hard to imagine the company without Tom or any other members of the extended Arunrung family who have worked here. We wish Tom a long and happy retirement!
Tom announced his retirement with this letter:
Dear Team,
After much consideration, finally I am writing to inform you all that I have decided to retire from my position at Dudek & Bock.
I am deeply grateful for the support, collaboration, and camaraderie I have experienced over the years.
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.
Thank you for everyone once again for the incredible journey and helped me through out the years and made my time here special. I wish everyone nothing but the best of luck
Warmest regards,
Tom Arunrung
