Dennis Rymanowski

I was always involved in music & continue to be.Our Family (Polka) Band the Rymanowski Bros is now in it's 64 nd year. I've been playing steady since 1968.

I worked at Simmons Machine Tool Corp in Albany since Jun 29,1964 and retired in 2009. I was the Spare Parts Mgr providing Spare Parts for 6 lines of "large" machine tools. We have machine lines set up in China, Russia, India, Canada and all through out the USA I was married for 23 years and divorced in 1996.. I have 2 grand daughters who I'm very proud of. I had prostate cancer 8 years ago and have been C free ever since.

I'm loving life. I visit Florida over the winter and spend my time (currently there) in Venice and Clearwater. Play lots of golf and hit the beach whenever possible. All summer I play with the band and we entertain in the Capital District at various concers and club venues.

After THS I took courses at HVCC to augment my positions at work. I was fortunate to "learn" my many positions/skills from 7 different teachers that had many years of experience in machine tools. Simmons Machine Tool purchased (1964) one of the largest machine tool lines in the world, namely the Niles Tool Line. I was schooled by the men from Niles and I am the last one from that era. Niles Tool Works was founded in 1833.
