In May of 1960, Tom Lange Company was officially open for business in St. Louis, MO, with Tom Lange and Farrell "Dutch" Gay at the helm. Four years into the venture, Phil "Rock" Gumpert joined the team, making this a fierce trio in a growing business. Fast forward to 2022, 62 years later, we celebrate Rock’s incredible contributions as he retires. Rock is still involved as Chairman of Tom Lange Family of Companies, with 24 office locations across the U.S. and Canada!
