It is with great sadness and with heavy hearts, that we announce the passing of Glenn Fricke, our project manager of 18 years. 

Glenn and Jim Dowling met in 1989 when they both worked for PDQ Contractors and became friends.  Their bond flourished into years of shared family adventures, inside jokes and New Years’ Eve game nights.  Despite diverging careers paths, their friendship endured, a true testament to the depth of their connection.  In 1998, Jim started Dowling Construction and Glenn became one of Dowling’s client while working for SDSUF. In 2005, Jim’s owner responsibilities increased there was a need to hire a project manager. Glenn was the only candidate Jim would consider. 

Glenn accepted and pioneered the role of our first inaugural project manager solely dedicated to acquiring, estimating and managing project. He role leaving an indelible mark on our company’s history.
