ABC Supply Employee Reflects on Ken Hendricks

Vicki Lowry, outside salesperson for ABC Supply in Midland, Texas, met Ken Hendricks—founder, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of ABC Supply multiple times in the 12 years she has worked for the company. Hendricks recently died from a head injury after falling at his home in Beloit, Wis. Lowry had nothing but accolades about her former CEO.

“Ken Hendricks had a way of putting you at ease and making you feel you were just part \ of the gang,” Lowry says.

She says that Hendricks was a real model for the building supply market through his imagination and compelling drive.

“From repairing old worn out warehouses and turning them into great places of businesses, Ken built a business empire in the roofing and siding industry to make all his employees feel proud that he had a dream and accomplished so much in such a short time,” Lowry says.

Lowry says she will miss him greatly. “I am thankful I had the chance to know Ken Hendricks.”
