Boak & Sons Inc. Remembers Beloved Past Employee by Helping His Family
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Boak & Sons Inc. believes in treating all of its employees like family, and when one of those family members passed away suddenly of a heart attack in April 2019, founder and President Sam Boak made continuous efforts to support the family he left behind.
Mark Odom, or "Odie," was a roofing department employee at Boak & Sons for over 20 years. He started with the company when he was only 18 years old, and quickly became a star employee. He worked his way up to a foreman position with the company and was nicknamed "Superman" for his obsession with the character as well as his super-power-like effort and attitude on the job.
