Celebrating Michael Whalen’s 15-Year Milestone Anniversary!

February 21, 2022

On this February 21st we’re excited to celebrate and congratulate Mike on his amazing 15-year milestone anniversary!

15-year milestone anniversary Mike, our Mount Vernon, New York’s Operations Supervisor reports to Frank Carlone, Area Manager.  Mike started his Paraco career out of the Mount Vernon facility as a dock worker filling cylinders and loading trucks.  Frank told us Mike obtained his CDL about a year later, turning into an excellent cylinder truck driver.  Some years later, Mike expressed interest in becoming part of the Management team. Working his way up, Mike became the dock supervisor, then was promoted to weekend supervisor; then dispatcher and router to better handle all Home Depot BBQ accounts.

Frank expressed gratitude for all Mike does for the team, stating “Mike assists me during the week, doing an excellent Job handling all our deliveries and routing using the Roadnet program. Mike is a valued asset and well-liked by the entire Mount Vernon Team. Thank you, Mike!”

Frank Carlone, Area Manager: “Mike, thank you for Your 15 years at Paraco.  You started as a dock worker, became a driver, and then a supervisor.  Your determination and hard work to learn the Propane business has contributed to the great success of our Mount Vernon team. Thank you again … Looking forward to our continued success.”

Andy Mirchin, Director of Market Development: “Mike, wow 15 years with Paraco Gas — it seems like it was just yesterday. You’ve come a long way from route driver to managing the drivers and the plant. I’m very proud of you and the continued commitment that you have displayed over the years. Congratulations!”

Mike, we are so proud to have you in our Paraco family.  With heartfelt appreciation for your dedication, we wish you the best for continued success — Congratulations and Happy 15th Anniversary!
