Default Jim Baumgartner has retired!!!!

Yup, it's true! Jim will no longer have his hands in the mud and muck fixing your sprinklers! It has been his greatest honor serving so many Villagers these past fourteen years. He LOVED being able to go to work each day making people happy by addressing their irrigation needs. Now the baton is passed to two great young men whom Jim trained until they started their own businesses - Joe Tucker (352) 430-5615 or Brent Mauriell at (352) 250-2573. Please call them for your future needs! And be on the lookout for Jim in that same hat out and about in The Villages!

So happy for him, no so happy for all the broken sprinkler heads.

Congratulations to Jim on taking an official retirement (again?) and thanks for training others to continue the services. It's a loss for many of us but well deserved.

Have a great retirement and thanks for all the support. I guess the real question is, can Holly survive with you home all the time

Jim referred me to Brent Mauriell of Simply Sprinklers. He is a nice young man who did a good job at a very reasonable price.

Jim thank you so much for all the time you took teaching me how my irrigation system worked. You were one of the few people I could always count on and never had a second thought when recommending. Enjoy your retirement you deserve a long happy time with your wife traveling.
