16 Streb Construction 1965 - 2015 Paving in Robins, 2013 4 FROM PAGE 14 While Rick Eggleston sold the company to Streb’s in 2010, E & F Paving continues with 25 employees in its Cedar Rapids office, performing similar types of work as Streb’s, but with a focus on Linn County. Rick said his father originally joined forces with the Fitzpatrick brothers, who were streets department employees knowledgeable about concrete. Ed and Leo, along with their brothers, Irving, Tom and Don, owned Fitzpatrick Concrete in the 1950s. Both of the Fitzpatrick brothers had fought in GO TO PAGE 17 4 50 Years! Congratulations!

E & F Paving 1964 - 2015 17 Streb Construction 4 FROM PAGE 16 World War II and Jack Eggleston joined the Marines at age 17, just as the war was ending. He later served as Streets Commissioner in Cedar Rapids in the early 1960s. Don Fitzpatrick was Assistant Vice President and office manager for the company. Times have changed since the labor-intensive work that Rick recalls when starting with the company as a high school junior. “My first job was throwing a pile of dirt into a dump truck with a shovel,” he vividly recalls. The work still involves physical labor, but is more efficient, so it can be done with fewer workers. Still, several employees made a career with E & F. Bob Knake was one of the first employees, who was with the company from its inception. “He was a very valuable employee for over 30 years,” Rick said. So many good people we have worked with. Long-time employees, Marilyn Mittan and Tom Meyer Others, such as Harvey Hop, were teachers who worked summers with the company, and many people to this day tell his father, now living in Hiawatha, that they were able to pay their way through college by working for the paving company. Those workers have gone on to become lawyers, doctors, teachers and more, Rick said. The company’s relationship with developers and others in the city has been equally exceptional, he added. “There are so many good people we have worked with,” he said. While it’s impossible to calculate how many jobs the company has completed in the past 50 years, Rick said more than 1.5 million cubic yards of concrete has been poured since E & F began, growing from 4,000 cubic yards annually to more than 50,000 per year. While some of the technology has changed and the land around the company’s office in southwest Cedar Rapids has developed dramatically from 1970, when they first moved to the site, they are proud that their name has carried on. Congratulations on 50 years in business! We appreciate your loyalty and trust throughout the years. MidWestOne.com (319) 356-5800 Coralville • Iowa City • North Liberty Member FDIC
