Multi-Generational Involvement Helps Build Cape Cod Contractor’s Business
Justin Lyerla (508) 824-3262
All cranes learn how to build from their instincts in the nest. Jason A. Souza learned how to build from his grandfather’s crane — the heavy iron version, that is, not the long-legged bird. Souza, owner of American Excavating Contractors Inc., on Cape Cod, learned about the construction of handmade stone walls and the powerful machinery needed to move and pile large stones from his mentor and grandfather George Rapoza, while still a fledgling, just out of the nest, himself. The Souza’s three-yearRapoza had established a old, Wyatt, helps Dad successful crane company, wash the big trucks when Rapoza’s Crane Service, Dad comes home, and has East Falmouth, Mass. In helped them land jobs. later years, however, his business waned, and Rapoza started Azopar Corp., a related excavation business, in the early 1980s. As a child, Souza would go to work job sites with his grandfather and then, as a fascinated teenager, would work on-site with him as a laborer. He never ran the cranes, but would move them, while greasing and loading trucks. His grandfather taught him the foundation of excavation and building and was a very positive role model in his life. Learning Under ‘Rip Rap’ According to Souza, George Rapoza, AKA “Rip Rap” was a rock star of a different sort. His stage usually consisted of heavy wooden mats that the cranes parked on for stability while working on or around the beach. He was well-known for building jetties and sea walls from Provincetown, Mass., to the Jersey Shore. see cAPE coD page 8
