🏈 38 YEARS AND STILL ON THE ACTIVE ROSTER! 🏈
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh in the fall of 1988, Bart DeFere joined the Dearco team as a Wholesale Accounts Salesman. 38 years later, he's still going strong and shows no signs of hanging up his cleats! 😁
Throughout his career, Bart has traveled the highways and backroads of Wisconsin and Michigan's U.P., calling on glass shops, paint stores, lumberyards, and frame shops. He's earned a reputation for his positive "can-do" attitude, dedication to his customers, and, of course, his rather eye-catching wardrobe! 🕺
And speaking of football, Bart isn't just a Green Bay Packers fan—he's an OWNER! That's right, Bart is a proud Packers shareholder. So, if you have any complaints about the coaching, questionable play-calling, or the team's performance on Sundays, feel free to direct them to Bart. After all, he's part of ownership! 😂🏈
Congratulations on 38 incredible years, Bart! Your loyalty, hard work, and commitment to your customers have made you an invaluable part of the Dearco team. We're fortunate to have you!
OUR PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
