Our 110 Year History
My name is Ryan, and I'm going to give you a little history about my family and our history in the moving business.
Let's start right at the beginning in 1910. My Great GREAT uncle Mr. Henry Parker started up a little company called Parker's Express. He moved everything, just like we do today. He moved service men's trunks when they would get off the train coming back home. He used to move barges down the Erie Canal with horses, and of course he moved houses and did deliveries also.
My grandfather Norm Courtemanche, after four years in the service, met my grandmother who was Henry's daughter. Henry offered Norm a job while he was contemplating another tour and then an opportunity to buy into a partnership. After falling deeply in love with my grandmother and the job, he saw a chance to have a family and a great life by becoming a partner in Parker's Express. my grandfather “worked in this community for over sixty years doing everything from delivering prescriptions, dry cleaning, furniture, appliances, pianos and whole houses.
The Later Years
Since 2000 my grandfather and I have been working together side by side. I am very lucky to have spent my life thus far with such a great man to inspire me. He has been my number one role model my entire life and will always be in my heart. I cherish the days we have spent together on and off the job. My family has created a great empire, and I look forward to carrying on our legacy.
To all of my future clients: I look forward to working with you, and you can always expect service with a smile in a light hearted atmosphere. We really do love working with each other, and it shows through our work and our charisma.
Thanks for reading about us!
Ryan
Update!
Norm's been retired for over a handful of years now. Things are running just as smooth as ever. I've hired a great new member to the team, and he's been here over 5 years now.
Norm is 87 years old now, still rides a motorcycle, square dances, does regular dancing on the weekends, play bridge, poke, works out regularly, and is totally enjoying his retirement.
He and I regularly talk, hang out, and love to eat together! The things he taught me throughout the years on and off the job will never leave me, and even though he's not working with me I still absolutely love my job!
My team enjoys what we do and it still shows in our work today. Call us anytime, with any question, and I look forward to taking care of whatever it is you need!
