Whitefish Bay — It's been almost two years since the small plane carrying the owners of a high-end Milwaukee area design firm crashed at an airport in northern Wisconsin.
The lives of Jon Schlagenhaft and his life partner, Curtiss Stern, ended on that late summer evening. But the controversy surrounding their Jon Schlagenhaft Design Ltd. business and the Peabody's furniture business they bought just weeks before the September 2008 crash continues.
"It was traumatic and heart-wrenching and confusing," said Barb Ferron, who had been working as controller for the design firm for four years at the time of the owners' deaths. "We kind of all banded together to make sure their clients would be taken care of."
Soon after, though, Schlagenhaft employee Jessica Jubelirer left and took others with her to start a competing firm. And the estates of the two owners are still not settled, as the families of the two men fight in Milwaukee County Probate Court.
The probate fight leaves the ownership status of the business in limbo. But Schlagenhaft's heirs are running it and making decisions that they hope will position it for a brighter future.
Even without the probate fight, the odds of survival are slim for a business that loses its owners to accidental death, said Dean Fowler, president of Dean Fowler Associates Inc., a consulting firm that serves family-owned businesses. The survival rate for family businesses that pass to the next generation is just 30%, Fowler said.
Kelly Gallion, a niece of Schlagenhaft who had never set foot inside Peabody's Interiors before September 2008, now runs the company.
"We knew they were buying Peabody's, but we weren't sure they had closed on it," said Gallion, looking back to Sept. 11, 2008, the day Schlagenhaft, Stern and their pilot died in the crash at Lakeland Airport in the Town of Arbor Vitae. The men were headed to a vacation home they owned nearby.
Learning the business
Schlagenhaft, who was 50, and Stern, who was 40, were both business and life partners. The two had operated their design business in Mequon for years and had purchased the Peabody's store in August 2008.
The design business moved into the furniture store in March 2009, and now the entire operation is heading to a new building in Brown Deer under Gallion's leadership. The new store, at 8655 N. Deerwood Drive, is expected to open April 30. Meanwhile, a clearance sale at the store at 133 E. Silver Spring Drive will continue until May 29.
It's been a bumpy road, Gallion said. The 31-year-old had no experience running a retail business, having worked in sales previously for Cintas, a uniform company.
"We're doing pretty well right now," Gallion said about the business. "Last year was pretty rough for us."
Gallion credits the staff of Peabody's for keeping the store running as she learned the ropes. They were accustomed to working independently because former owner Gail Homuth had moved to Colorado and was at the store only once a month, Gallion said.
Eric Butlein, a businessman who was a client and friend of Gallion's uncle, helped with her training.
"He was a total mensch. He came in every week to mentor me. He taught me about finance, things I've never done before," she said.
Like Schlagenhaft Design, Peabody's business has focused on providing service to well-heeled clients. The two competed head-to-head before they were combined. Nearly 90% of Peabody's sales involve custom orders and design work for customers, Gallion said.
Moving will save the rent that the company has been paying on the store on Silver Spring Drive.
The Deerwood Drive space is 7,000 square feet, compared with 10,000 square feet in the Whitefish Bay location.
"We'll still have plenty of inventory," Gallion said. The building was constructed to house a design firm, and it's well-suited to the work done by Peabody's designers, she said.
Peabody's recently hired a new designer who has worked in New York City, José Carlino, and has opened a second location in Boulder Junction to serve customers who have vacation homes in the area.
Heavily in debt
Homuth, meanwhile, is attempting to rent the Peabody's space on Silver Spring Drive.
Homuth owned both the store and the building, and had struck a deal with Stern and Schlagenhaft to sell both. But the partners couldn't get financing for the deal, so they persuaded her to close first on the retail business and finance the transaction. They intended to close on the building separately, three weeks later.
The men died in the crash before that could happen, but Homuth had protected her financing agreement by buying a life insurance policy on the pair.
Peabody's was profitable when she sold the business in 2008, despite the loss of six decorators who left to form a new business, Homuth said. If the partners had lived, Homuth said she believes they would have been able to run the business successfully, despite being heavily leveraged.
Documents in probate court list a mortgage of $1.1 million against their $1 million Third Ward condo, three mortgages against their vacation home in Vilas County, and millions in claims by banks and business partners.
James and Eleanor Stern, parents of Curtiss, are challenging his will, which left his entire estate to his partner. The Sterns say their son intended to provide for them, even though they are not mentioned in the will.
Circuit Court Judge Mel Flanagan has ruled against the Sterns, and they are attempting to appeal their case to the state Supreme Court, bypassing the Appeals Court. Denis Regan, an attorney representing the Sterns, maintains that their son would not have wanted his assets to go to Schlagenhaft's family instead of his own parents.
If the Sterns prevail, they would get half of the Peabody's retail and design business, Regan said.
