Walt Czeskleba is being acknowledged for his 45 years of service to the Montevallo community.
Walt owns the Czeskleba tv service store on Main Street where he repairs televisions and many other small appliances.

Walt said, "I work on old tv's, radios, clocks, floor lamps, old chords, and stuff like that."

Czeskleba discovered his love for television repair as a teenager. He said, "When I was a kid, my dad was an electrician at the university and I was interested in all that stuff."

Over his 45 years of service, Walt says business definitely isn't the same but there's really no telling how much business he should expect each week. He said, "It usually slows down after Black Friday because everybody buys new tv's during the holidays."

Czeskleba has not only dedicated his services to the community or the city, but he also provided services to the University of Montevallo for about 26 or 27 years. Before the University of Montevallo had cable, Walt placed antennas all over the campus.

After dedicating his service to the community for more than four decades, Walt plans to stay in business for five more years before enjoying his retirement.

Even during his retirement, Walt still won't be quite ready to give up his repairing skills. He says he has plans to repair antiques, preferably antique furniture.
