Founding Member of United Fence Corporation of Massachusetts 1949 – 2025
 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Jankowski, one of the founding pillars of United Fence. More than just a builder of fences, John was a builder of trust and enduring relationships. From the first days of the company, he brought not only craftsmanship and grit, but a vision rooted in integrity and care. 

Before founding United Fence, John served honorably in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. His time in service shaped his sense of discipline, loyalty, and commitment to others, qualities that he carried into every aspect of his life and work. 

To those who worked beside John, he was a mentor, a friend, and a steady hand in times of uncertainty. Crew members looked up to him for his guidance, turning to him for advice, encouragement, and leadership. 

To customers, he was the face of reliability and the reason they returned year after year. And to his family and his friends, John was a force, always ready to lend a tool, share a story, or help a neighbor in need. 

Though John has passed, the legacy he leaves behind is woven into every project we’ve ever installed. We will carry forward his values, honor his memory, and continue building with the same heart and dedication that he exemplified. 

Rest easy, John. Your work stands tall, and your spirit lives on.
