Grandpa Willette  - Part-time help & Sr. Business Advisor

Steve’s inspiration and best friend.  Kerry & Steve share much in their interest for boating and business. Steve likes to bounce his ideas off of his father because his feedback is always so wise and helpful.

Rick wears many hats at Lakeshore Equipment which makes him very special and resourceful to our ‘technical customers’ because, next to Steve Willette, he’s a master at answering the tough questions related to the manufacturing of docks and lifts. He also handles repairs as an aluminum welder and oversees all parts, shipping and receiving. Rick has been with Lakeshore Equipment for three years and loves how everyone is treated like family.  His dedication to all shows through his work.

Mike’s many talents and hard work make him a very valuable addition to the team at Lakeshore Equipment. He is a consistent performer and serves in several areas, sales, service, deliveries, assembly and installation.  Mike started with Lakeshore one year ago and loves the family style atmosphere – says he  can’t imagine being happier working elsewhere, and we at Lakeshore couldn’t be more happy to have him!

Terry has been with Lakeshore Equipment for 21 years which makes him a long time veteran. Terry works in both sales and accounting to make sure all is in check and balance!  He also is proof of endurance to the rest of the team because he’s weathered two decades in the industry and loves it even more than he did twenty years ago.  His ‘never give up attitude’ to finding the right solution is transparent in everything he does.
