The HVAC technician was my favorite person when I was a kid.
I always loved it whenever there was something going wrong with the heating or air conditioning at our house because I knew that meant that we were going to get a visit from Steve.
Steve was this great big guy with a huge laugh and a big HVAC box truck full of all kinds of equipment and tools and Interesting treasures for a little kid to look at.Also always had a grape sucker in the pocket of his uniform jacket that he would get out and give to me whenever he arrived to work on the HVAC system. I always liked seeing his HVAC truck pull up to our house and he was really friendly and full of funny jokes. My parents must have really liked him too, because he was the only HVAC technician that we ever had come over to our house all the time that I was growing up.He worked for the same company for a really long time, and he did really great work. He came over and did all the repairs on our HVAC system for us but he also did regular seasonal maintenance work for us. I think I probably got to see him about three times a year most of the time. He was my favorite person back when I was a kid. I put him right up there with Santa, honestly. I wish I could find him and talk to him today but he retired from HVAC work and moved away.
