Subject: Farewell to Ron Jensen
Here at Billie Tanker Pipe and Supply, we take pride in
our unparalleled customer service and the
unquestionable quality of our work. Though we have
expanded our operations from one small storefront to a
county-wide franchise, we continue to see all our
workers, from truck drivers to senior management, as
members of one large family. Therefore, it is with a
mixed sense of pride and sadness that I congratulate
Ron Jensen on his retirement.
Ron started at our company fifteen years ago and was a
part of growth from making small business “housecalls”
to servicing major corporations in our city. Many
customers got to know Ron by name and asked for him
personally when they needed an estimate. Ron’s
service record is outstanding. His work one-on-one with
clients and the knowledge he’s gained from a decade
and a half in the field many referrals from
valued customers. While many of his peers went on to
positions in management, Ron remained at the “front
lines,” where he could “get his hands dirty” with the
renovations and retrofits that he preferred to desk work.
At his retirement
to his
colleague of many years, Belle Sanchez. His coworkers
will then stage a humorous “This Was Your Life”
retrospective, highlighting Ron’s career successes, and
relating humorous anecdotes about his adventures in
engineering.
Ron plans to retain a consultant relationship with our
company to best serve his
long-time
clients, providing guidance necessary to make his
transition to retirement as smooth as possible for all
parties. Ron will work with new technicians as they take
over existing projects, to ensure our best
performance.
Please join me in thanking Ron for his outstanding
tenure of service and commending him on a successful
career. All employees are invited to Ron’s retirement
party on Friday, at 7pm, in the main conference room of
our downtown office location: 2121 Main Street. Come
wish him a happy retirement.
