Paul Bullock was
born March 26th, 1935 in Aberdeen, South
Dakota. Growing up in the era of the Great
Depression Paul learned some valuable life lessons
of which he passed on to his own children. Paul is
a veteran of the Korean War and shortly after
returning home married his sweetheart Jean Ertz of
Ipswich, South Dakota.
From there Paul
and Jean moved to Wisconsin where they went on to
have 5 children, Patrick, Cheryl, Greg, Kevin and
Keith. Paul and Jean decided to move to Arizona.
They packed up the pick-up truck with their 5
children and a 14’ U-Haul trailer and headed for the
desert.
Paul’s biggest
move however was his decision to follow his lifelong
dream of being his own boss. This move would prove
to be challenging and full of sacrifices, but
equally rewarding. From the humble beginnings in
the back yard, to the storage units, to the several
different warehouses, each one a little bigger than
the last to now owning a 40,000 sq ft warehouse,
Paul never forgot where he came from and the lessons
he learned along the way.
Paul believed
that if you work hard, strive to do your best, have
a passion for what you do, maintain your integrity
and most of all always be honest, that the world was
yours for the taking. Paul not only believed this
but lived this and has since instilled this in his
children of which 4 are in the business today along
with 5 grandchildren. Paul went from someone just
breaking into the restoration business learning as
he went to one of the most respected in the
industry.
Unfortunately,
Paul is no longer with us on this earth, but we all
know that he is still watching over his business,
wife, kids, grandkids and his legacy will live on.
