It is safe to say that everyone knows someone who is actively serving in the military or veteran who has served our great country in one of the branches of the military. We have 3 veterans working here at Hydra-Tech Pumps. Andy Falco our VP of Manufacturing spent 4 years in the Marines. Darryl Cunfer the Manager of Product Development and Training spent 4 years in the Army. Tim Frye, one of Hydra-Tech Pumps’ machinists, spent 3 years in the Navy and 2 years in the reserves as a Corpsman.
On Wednesday November 17th the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate for the Philadelphia Flyers, hosted Military Appreciation Night. Because of our ties to veterans, Hydra-Tech Pumps sponsored 50 tickets for local military veterans and their families to attend the game. In all, there were over 2,000 tickets donated for veterans to be able to attend the game.
Because we participated in the sponsorship, we were provided 4 tickets to use for the game. We sent two of our own employee veterans down to enjoy the hockey game. Darryl Cunfer took his grandson Jed for his second Phantoms game – Jed’s first was the Military Appreciation Night in 2019. Tim Frye took his daughter down to the game. Both Darryl and Tim have worked at Hydra-Tech Pumps since the business was moved to Nesquehoning, PA in 2007. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms played the Charlotte Checkers. The Phantoms came back in the 3rd period to tie the game from a 3-0 deficit but lost 4-3 when the Checkers scored a goal in the last 2 minutes of the game.
We would like to thank all active military personnel who are currently serving and all veterans for their service to our country. We are proud of your sacrifices.
