A Brief Company History and Our Dedication to Service From The Desk of Thomas Sansone Sr. – President
It was the Christmas season of 1971. Two years after I had graduated high school, I was working as a telephone man. My friend Ray worked for a local alarm company. Ray thought that we could make a few extra dollars installing alarms on the side.
Earlier, I had installed a telephone at a local tavern, so Ray and I sold the owner of the bar our first alarm system. When it came time to get paid, The owner asked, “How do I make out the check?” We looked at each other and said “T&R Alarms (Tom & Ray)!” We now had our first check for $150.00. We learned that we needed to register the name and open up a bank account to cash the check, we were complete novices.
