Business Details

Dennis Klodner, founder and President of DePaul Diesel Service Inc., worked his way from E5 Aviation Machinists Mate Jet, while in the U.S Navy, to Service Manager of one of the largest truck dealerships in Rhode Island.  Among his many accomplishments as Service Manager, he also instituted a second shift and increased the workforce from ten employees to twenty in three years.

Dennis wanted to work on Aquidneck Island, where he and his family lived. On June 1, 1979, he and his wife Pauline opened the doors of DePaul Diesel Service Inc. The name originated from a combination of the owners names and not some exotic diesel engine.
