Field Perspective

As a way to show a different perspective of work being done here at P.J. Hoerr and Summit Masonry, I will from time to time feature a montage of photos taken in the field by either the Project Manager or Project Superintendent running a particular job.

This 22,000 sq ft expansion of Illinois CancerCare is now underway. The current facility is located in north Peoria on Route 91. The project will include expanded research facilities and administrative offices, as well as renovations to a large portion of the existing structure. This additional operating space will expedite diagnosis and treatment of patients. The current entrance will also be widened for easier patient access.

P.J. Hoerr, Summit Masonry and Farmer's Insurance Golf Outing to Benefit the March of Dimes

The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy to save babies and in 2003 launched a campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth.

On August 22nd , P.J. Hoerr, Summit Masonry and Farmer's Insurance held their annual golf outing to benefit this worthy mission. The Peoria-Area business community came together to play 18 holes of golf at Metamora Fields in Metamora, IL. Lunch was served and some great raffle prizes were handed out.

P.J. Hoerr and Summit feel privileged and honored to be able to host this magnificent event each year and are grateful to all who turned out to support it.

 

Jim Sharav

We at P.J. Hoerr, Inc. mourn the loss of one of our most longstanding, loyal and dedicated team members, Jim Sharav. In his 20 years with our company Jim truly epitomized the essence of professionalism and class in all that he did. He was not just an employee, peer and colleague… he was a friend. Although his retirement years and life were cut far too short those who knew him can rest in the knowledge that he filled that unfinished life with days, months and years of commitment to community and others as well as an unbridled passion for life. Rest eternally in the arms and peace of God Jim. You will be missed.

This project consisted of the renovation of various existing spaces throughout the high school over the Summer of 2011 in advance of a significant building addition in the Fall of 2011.
