NEW YORK — Nick Caliendo, whose career in the window coverings industry has spanned 48 years — almost 40 of which were spent helping to build Lorraine Home Fashions — is retiring at the end of this month "to smell the flowers in my later years and enjoy my free time with my loving wife and family," he said.

"Rarely, these days, does one hear of a 40-year career spent at the same company," said Bernard Rittenberg, chairman, Lorraine Home Fashions. "This is a testament to Nick's loyalty and commitment. Over these years, I have had the pleasure of witnessing a young man hone his superior skills as salesman and executive. We celebrate the close of his successful career, and we will miss his talents greatly."
