Atlanta – Joe Fristik, corporate vice president, marketing and national accounts passed away.

Fristik joined Rheem in August of 2011 after being in the sales and marketing industry for more than 30 years. During his rich career, he provided many lasting contributions to the industry and made many meaningful friendships along the way.

He also made significant contributions benefitting Rheem’s growth and spearheaded several new customer acquisitions. He was more than a leader at Rheem; he was also a friend and mentor to many. He will be dearly missed.

With a primary residence in Cleveland, Ohio, Fristik is survived by his wife of 32 years, Debra, and their three children, Joseph, Kelsey and Jared.
