Last week, we had the privilege of celebrating an incredible milestone as we honored Ken Bertke on his retirement after 49 years of dedicated service.
For nearly five decades, Ken has been a valued member of the H.A. Dorsten team, contributing his hard work, knowledge, and commitment to excellence. His impact on our company, our projects, and the people he has worked alongside over the years is immeasurable.
The celebration was made even more special by the presence of Ken's entire family, including a surprise visit from his daughter, Chloe, who traveled home from out of state to be part of this memorable occasion. Current and former employees gathered to celebrate Ken, share stories, and reflect on the many friendships and memories made throughout his remarkable career.
Ken, thank you for 49 years of loyalty, craftsmanship, mentorship, and dedication. We are grateful for everything you have contributed and wish you nothing but happiness, good health, and new adventures in retirement.
A special thank you to Community Lanes Minster for great food, service, and atmosphere, and mom + molli bakery for the delicious cake.
Please join us in congratulating Ken on an outstanding career and a well-earned retirement!
