ABC SEMI Issue 3 2019

Southeast Michigan Contractors  Issue 3 2019 15 to completing projects on time and budget without sacrificing any safety or quality— for this we honor them tonight.” One of the highlights of the evening was a touching tribute to the late Dave Sheffield, ABC Board Member and this year’s ABC Legacy Award winner. His wife, Janice, and family were on hand to receive the award on his behalf. ABC SEMI Board Member, Cort Niemi, Regional Sales Manager for Lighthouse group, was on hand to present the award and share some positive words on Sheffield’s commitment to ABC and the merit shop philosophy. “Dave set the bar high not only for others, but mostly for himself,” said Niemi. “He knew it was important to lead by example and always was one of the first to volunteer to help on a committee or board, especially when it was the Associated Builders and Contractors. He believed in the mission and vision that ABC stands for and was committed to making our industry a fair, safer, and more level playing field for all contractors to compete on. This award is fitting in that Dave’s legacy embodies the merit shop philosophy in treating others fairly, honestly and with compassion, but always encouraging them to give their best in quality and commitment on the job and in their lives. I am proud to have called Dave my friend and his impact on our industry will continue to be felt for generations to come.” This year’s EIC award winners were: Altech Doors for Sub-Contractor of the Year; The Summit Company for General Contractor of the Year; Molnar Roofing for Roofing/Carpentry of the Year; Robert Clancy Contracting, Inc. for Site Preparation of the Year.
