Krueger Sentry Gauge

Hello! I am Amy Filipiak, the Administrative Assistant. I help with Sales, Marketing, and Accounts Receivables and Payables and love it! I have been working at KSG since January of 2004.

I am a full time student at University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. I plan to graduate in December of 2010 with a Bachelor of Business Administrative Degree in Accounting and Business Administration emphasis on Management. It has been a slow process getting through school but I will finish eventually. I can’t wait until I am done so I don’t have to worry about working and going to school at the same time!

 I am 21 years old and engaged to be married in October of 2009 to my highschool sweetheart. I can’t wait! I love the outdoors, fishing, hunting, 4-wheeling, camping, anything….you name it, I like it. I lived in Suamico for 20 years with my mom, dad, brother and sister. In January I moved to Pulaski with my fiance. I absolutely love living on my own. My mom works here at KSG also so I still get to see her everyday and I still get picked on because I can’t ask her whats for dinner anymore!

I am easy to get along with and I hope that when you call and talk to me, you get that impression. Have a great summer! (I know that everyone in Wisconsin can’t wait for it. We had snow at the end of April this year!)

We love you Brett and Deanna

As I sit here and listen to Brett’s Retirement press conference, I feel the need to express my feelings on the matter.  I am a fan, and as such I will miss Brett Favre the football player.  And as a football fan I can rattle off all the stats.  Career leader in Passing TDs, Wins, yards, completions, consecutive starts, etc….  Did you know that during the Favre era the Packers are the winningest organization in the NFL?  Did you know that Brett has more passing yards, touchdowns, attempts, and completions at the Chicago Bears home field than any QB in Bears history.  Yes I admit, I will miss him on the field, but that is not what I will miss most.

I will miss Brett, Deanna and their family.  I did not actually know them personally, but every fan in Green Bay feels like they knew them personally.  Deanna said it best in her little video before a Monday night game in Brett’s last year.  She said…”my Brett, our Favre…”  She just had one thing wrong.  She should have said “our Favres”.  Because while we do not know them personally, we do know them and we do love them. 

We supported them when Brett was overcoming his addictions.  We cried when they lost family members.  We offered our prayers and support when Deanna was diagnosed with breast cancer, and we celebrated when our very own first lady beat that cancer.  

Brett was more than a football player, and he was more than a Green Bay Packer.  He was neighor, a father, a friend, and a hero.  The Favre family was a family that Green Bay residents could relate to.  They were people we could be proud of, and look up to.  And while they are not gone, Favre’s retirement brings a sense of finality to a career and a relationship that I have held close to my heart for close to 20 years.  I will never stop thinking of them.  I will miss them.   

Someday when I am old and retired I might make the trip to Kiln Mississippi and see the hometown that Brett grew up in.  I will eat at a restaurant that Brett may have eaten at.  Maybe I will run into a member of the family that I have grown to love and respect over the last 17 years.   And maybe, just maybe, I will have the opportunity to shake their hand and say “Thank You.”

Krueger Sentry Gauge is a small family business which is evident and obvious in so many ways.  My name is Lee Geurts, and I am the youngest family member in the company.  I work with my aunt, my uncle, my mother, my father, and it does not end there.   Every liquid level gauge manufacturing plant and machine shop needs to have a mascott, and we have four of them.

 First I would like to introduce you to Abby and Pearl.  They are our alarm system.  Two Toy Fox Terriers that warn us of intruders and customers alike.   They belong to my Aunt Kathy.  They are sisters, Abby is the porky one and Pearl is little miss petite.  And just a forewarning, don’t throw the ball.

Next I would like to introduce you to the Security Guards.  The first is the old veteran, Jasper.  He is an eight year old boxer that is starting to go a little grey in the face, but he still takes his job as head of security and company mascott seriously.

Last but not least, I would like to present Cheyenne.  She reminds me of Animal from the Muppets.  Jasper is trying to teach her some manners, but she is a slow learner.
