Chuck Taylor Retirement
Chuck retired after 33 years at Hull Stephens Associates Architects.

He was hired by B Dale Case and began work at G. E. Associates Architects in October 1972. G. E. Associates was part of The Case Team. In 1972, the Architectural firm consisted of a Registered Architect and 9 employees working at ... what did they call those things, Oh yea... Drafting Boards.

Prior to G. E. Associates, Chuck worked for a General Contractor and an Architectural firm in New York state. He also spent 4 years in the US Navy from 1966-1970.

When Dale Case retired in 1979, Chuck was one of the 4 (Cliff Hull, Doug Stephens and Don Durance, along with Chuck) to purchase the stock of G. E. Associates Architects. And the rest … is history. Chuck's duties over the years, of course, started as drafting, running blueprints, doing what ever he was ask to do. He took on the handyman responsibilities- building, fixing, repairing, etc. as needed. His responsibilities have included: Board of Directors member, Project Manager for commercial and residential, Office Manager, Accounting, Planning Special Events, Advertising, Marketing, and Webmaster for the company Website.

Chuck was honored when the staff and employees gathered for their Annual Christmas Gathering. Some of the comments made include the following:

"Chuck is a fine Christian professional, who represents our company very well. He acts & dressed professionally, is faithful, prompt, & dependable. He has been a very fine detailed Project Manager for several churches', commercial, & residential projects."

"He usually is one of the first persons to greet people as they walked in the door, or on the phone, and he also tries to make them feel welcomed. He is optimistic, very patient, & helpful with clients & student employees."

"Chuck was a mentor to many students - about two dozen students over a 10 year period. He has received Appreciation Awards from Swartz Creek High School, Carman Ainsworth High School, Flint Chamber of Commerce, the Student Co-op mentoring Program- for being involved in their co-op programs, plus mentoring students from Baker College. For several years he would go to the local high schools on Career Awareness Day & talk to the students about the merits of architecture."

"Many students are indebted to him for the mentoring he provided. He had great patience with them, & helped to develop them into fine citizens. Some studying to become doctors, pharmacists, carpenters, retail business people, teachers, professional secretary's, ministers, homemakers, draftspersons, aspiring architects, and interior designers."

"Another important responsibility Chuck had was Acting Corporate Secretary/Treasurer. He was very diligent, professional, & detailed in note taking and organization. Financially he was very efficient, careful, & thorough. He always prepared excellent Annual Meeting records, weekly financial statements, & projections. He also worked well with our attorneys, CPAs and Corporate Officers. He was very helpful in maintaining our organizations flow."

Chuck and his wife June own property in upstate New York. Chuck will continue to work on restoring the original Mullen Homestead farmhouse (June's family). They will also be renovating and restoring an old home in the village (Andover, New York) approximately 6 miles from the farm.

Friends, associates, and former employees of HSAA gathered on Friday December 30th, 2006 and shared a time of remembering with Chuck.
