It’s hard to put this into words after owning the company for 39 years and me working in it for 22 with Steve, as of tomorrow Schmit towing has been sold. Steve will still be working there because he wouldn’t know what else to do with himself at least for quite some time but a new chapter in our lives is starting. I’ll probably just hang out in Florida. Here’s to us and to Steve and Schmit Towing!
