Legendary plumbing contractor and former PM columnist Frank Blau has divested himself of all ownership in Blau Plumbing & Heating in Milwaukee. Sons Jim and Robert Blau are the new owners through a gifting arrangement.
Frank, who turns 75 this month, will have a five-year consulting agreement with the company and “will help as often as I'm asked.” He told PM, however, that he spends most of his time tending to 135 acres of land in northern Wisconsin where he employs the latest forest management techniques to create prime deer-hunting habitat.
