Francis "Buddy" C. Garner, V.P. of Real Estate Acquisitions Buddy started the next chapter of his working life, with Chaney Enterprises as the Assistant to the Land Manager in June 1979 after retiring as Sheriff of the Charles County Sheriffs Department. Chaney Enterprises was honored to enhance their team with a proven "gentleman" who they saw dedicate his career, from 1953 to 1978, to the safety of the Charles County community. Born and raised in Charles County, while also fulfilling his career in the County, Buddy came to Chaney Enterprises with connections to every community and civic group, business leader, politician, and law enforcement official. His love for people and the welfare of the Charles County community has made him a true success in purchasing land, so that Chaney Enterprises can provide needed construction materials and supplies back to the community. "It has been a joy to see throughout my career how purchasing quality property can in turn give so much back to the community. Over the years, the property I have purchased has provided Chaney Enterprises quality sand and gravel to sell to contractors to build such things as homes, schools, and churches. Additionally, once the material was extracted for this use, I saw the property transformed in to better uses for the environment, like pastures for livestock and wetland restoration ponds that were donated to the state." Similar to his dedication to the Sheriffs Department, Buddy also gave his life to the success of Chaney Enterprises. Throughout the years, Buddy has been very instrumental with industry associations and community organization, which are too many to list. Notably, Buddy has been an active volunteer at each of Chaney Enterprises' American Cancer Society Bull Roasts since its inception in 1979. Still today, Buddy is an active participant and highly respected pillar of the Charles County community and Chaney Enterprises. |
