After 47 years of providing electrical service to the Wagner community, Jim Bastemeyer, Jim's Electric, has the opportunity to turn the electrical business over to Allen Westendorf. Al was a former employee of Jim's Electric 20 years ago.

Al now owns his own electric company based in Woonsocket, Westendorf Electric. Al has five employees in Woonsocket and Tim Leines is employed full time and Jim is part-time in the Wagner area.

Jim would like to extend a hearty welcome to Al and his wife Heather for branching their electric business to the Wagner area.

Jim and his wife, Pam, are looking forward to spending more time with family and friends.

Jim also retired from the Wagner Fire District after serving 39 years on the fire department and fire district board.

Jim appreciates the Wagner community for their support and patronage during his electric business years.
