Milwaukee Valve Co. announced the recent death of Glenn Whelan, the company’s inside sales manager. A 29-year veteran of the valve manufacturer, Whelan had advanced from the shop floor in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, to manage the entire inside sales department.
Whelan’s career with Milwaukee Valve began as a bench assembler in 1990. His positive “can-do” attitude and ability to work well with others made him a great asset when a customer-service position became available in 1993, the company explained. Whelan continued to thrive and grow with new assignments and responsibilities until he was appointed as sales service manager, where he managed the entire customer service department.
