Glenn Udell, one of the early members of PRSM and a highly engaged member of PRSM/Connex for several years passed away, March 31, 2020 at the age of 65. He had been a member of the association since 1996. His brother Blaine Udell is President of AFGO Mechanical Services, Inc. and has also been long-term PRSM/Connex member.
Glenn always knew that he wanted to run the family business, Berdell Industries, and follow in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather. In 1985, after his father’s retirement, Glenn took over the family business, expanding Berdell into a larger organization. Glenn’s younger brother, Blaine, partnered with him in 1987, and together they continued manufacturing heat transfer equipment. In the same year, the Udell brothers established their presence in the heat transfer industry with 100 new employees and over 80 nationwide representatives, selling their equipment.
Finally, in 1995, with business flourishing, Glenn and Blaine founded AFGO Mechanical Services Inc., beginning to install Berdell’s equipment. At the same time they successfully formed a full HVAC service department offering around-the-clock service, maintenance, and installations to their clients.
Prior to his death, Glenn served as the proud Chairman Emeritus of AFGO; a company that thrives as one of the leading HVAC contractors within the New York Metropolitan Area.
