Our FAB Employees

Good deed with a helpful hand

A thankful resident in Sarasota informed us of the following today and we are very proud:

"I would like to take this time to commend you on the quality of people you employ. Monday 02/28/22, near the corner of Waldemere and Osprey in Sarasota, my wife and I were walking our dog.  After passing your crew, I suddenly felt profoundly lightheaded.  I held on to a signpost and gave my wife the dog's leash.  Your employees did not know if this represented a medical emergency.  Three of your crew immediately rushed to help me, including Chris and Juan.  They stayed with me while I laid down on the ground which helped ease the light headedness.  Your crew immediately gave me water and then drove me back home.  They also offered to take the dog home for my wife and offered her a ride as well.  Not only that, but later Juan even stopped back that afternoon to be certain I was OK.  I would ask that you put this letter in their employee files as an example of their outstanding service to someone in need.  Please inform the owners of the company that they should feel fortunate to have workers such as this."
