Portage and Main Outdoor Water Furnaces- Thankyou and Good Luck
« on: January 20, 2015, 09:24:58 AM »

Portage and Main Outdoor Water furnaces, management and staff would like to congratulate Richard Emmons, aka slim-jim, and extend our best wishes and good luck on his new venture. It has been our great pleasure to have worked together over the last few years with Richard. Richard has asked me to also extend a big thankyou to all the people on the forum, that he has communicated with over the last couple of years.

That being said, we would like all of our current owners and future Portage and Main boiler owners to know that they can always contact us directly, toll free at 1-800-561-0700 or thru email at products1@portageandmainboilers.com

The President of our company, Heat Smart Plus Inc., Brian Martin, and myself, the Sales Manager of Heat Smart Plus Inc.,would like to thank all previous customers, current owners, and new prospective owners for their patronage.
Good luck Richard!

The only way to keep Slimjim out of the OWFI.com forums is to ban him  :o ... and that ain't happening any time soon.  ;D  ^-^  :thumbup:

I think the biggest news here is to find out that Slimjim's name isn't Jim.  It's like finding out Smokey Bear's first name is Tom or something.

Slimjim was obviously afraid of Furnace Groupies and internet stalkers.

Wow, not sure what happened but I'm kinda bummed about it..........based on the fact that Rory stated that Slim is moving on to a new venture. 

How bout it Slim...........What gives?  Are you still gonna be around to cry our eyes when some of us start crying the blues? :'(

OK Guys your gonna make me cry if you keep it up, simple fact is I was made a nice offer from another company, P+M has been great to me but the new company has lots of room for advancement, I sometimes get bored easily and want to try it elsewhere, it will be very exiting to start with a new company, I'll be talking with the owners today to see if they feel it is time to make the announcement. The fact is guys that had I not come onto this Forum, and received the wonderful welcome that I did, they would never have known about me, I truly do thank you all for that, Brian has offered to keep some parts here for my local customers and as always, I really don't care what boiler you have, if I can be of assistance I will!

Hey Slimjim, If you're going to change your phone number be sure to let me know so I can save it in my phone! ;D I would hate to call it and get someone from the EPA or something :o
