Zimmerman gets out of the garage

Max Zimmerman, equipment manager, retired from Dunn Company at the end of April, capping off a 28 year career. Zimmerman started as a mechanic with Lourash Construction in 1980 and continued with Dunn Company after it was purchased in 1988. He took on the title of equipment manager in 2002.

“I was always doing what I like to do and what I know how to do,” explains Zimmerman simply. “I tried to be good at it.”

Zimmerman oversaw equipment maintenance, purchasing, replacement and special equipment design. He also was the coordinator for construction, building and grounds maintenance.

“Max has empathy for machines and an intuitive understanding of how they work,” says David Tyrolt, Dunn President. “He is a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor and we will miss him.”

With working year round, Zimmerman and his wife of 38 years, Judy, didn’t have much time for vacations, but with Judy’s retirement from the Decatur Public School District this past year, they will have plenty of time now.

“I’d also like to build a workshop, work in my garden and yard some, but I want to be able to take a nap when I want,” he says with a smile.
