"...went above and beyond his duties....He worked very hard, was extremely courteous, performed tasks that were not on the work order. The team was timely and kept me abreast of how they were going to proceed with moving. The team worked hard and diligently are very deserving of recognition."

"...the two of them...were still performing the same great service...with a wonderful attitude and smile. You are very fortunate to have these two in your employ."

"...Not only was he extremely good in moving things to where we asked, but he also moved them again when we didn't like the way they looked. He did all this with extreme patience and care. He was back again the next day to make sure everything was still satisfactory. He is most friendly when you see him in another area. He is such a joy to work with."
