05:10 AM EST Share The organization’s executive director for 34 years who launched its governmental affairs and apprenticeship initiatives died July 1 at age 87.
Arnold Tritt was a piler, not a filer.
While the floor of his executive officer’s space at the Northeast Florida Builders Association constantly was covered in stacks of papers, Tritt always knew where to find what he needed.
“Everything was so urgent and so important and he didn’t have time to file,” said his son, Arnold Tritt Jr.
Those piles even carried over into their home, Tritt Jr. said. As children, he and his brother Lee-ford would be put to work filling NEFBA mailers and sorting them by ZIP code.
