Veterans Day – Fill in the Blanks

All of us at Easterday Construction Co., Inc. want to remember our veterans, past and present, on this Veterans Day.

Easterday Construction has a long history, dating back to the 1920’s. Melba Easterday told stories of working at the Kingsbury Ordinance Plant with company founder, Russell Easterday, while her husband, Edward Easterday, was fighting in World War II. Easterday Construction benefited from many skills that employees brought back from their service.

We are doing some purging here and as usual, are amazed at the number of people that worked for Easterday Construction throughout the years, many of which were veterans. While we have many of their names, we don’t have records of who also served our country. Here’s a short list of past employees that served. We’re confident that this list is inadequate by several score at a minimum! If you know more and can fill in the blanks for us or add any details, they’ll be added here:

• Everett Easterday
• Edward (Red) Easterday
• Jack Easterday
• Dennis (Denny) Larue
• Gene Thomas
• David (Dave) Osborn
• Vern Rohrer
• James (Jim) Yagelski
• Robert (Bob) Berger
• Robert (Larry) Berger
• Kenneth (Kenny) Stiles
• William (Willie) Pearson
• …

Thank you for your service!
