Happy Retirement, Ron & Shirley!
Ron Miller’s Retirement
by Karen Yardley
In August the Sanitation Department saw the retirement of a member of our team who had been with us for just over 10 years. Ron Miller, C Shift Sanitation Manager, came to us from the Production department and had been our lead on C Shift ever since. While his retirement did not come as a surprise, the timing did! We had originally made plans for a smooth transition including some training time for Dennis Horton to work alongside Ron with Ron leaving at the end of October. Unforeseen issues required Ron to retire effective im- mediately and we were forced to put those plans into play now. We wish Ron all the best in the next phase of his life - lots of time to read, ride and shoot! And most importantly, time for family including those new grandchildren!
Shirley Oltmanns Retires
by Herb Wyckoff Friends and coworkers gathered recently to congratulate Shir- ley Oltmanns on her retirement from the Ingredient Division R&D department and to express our appreciation for the many contributions to Crest Foods over the years. Shirley joined Crest Foods in August of 1990 starting as a lab technician, progress- ing to Lead Food Technologist on her way to her final position of R&D Project Manager. Throughout her career, Shirley’s hard work and dedication to Crest was demonstrated in many ways. Shirley was responsible for providing training to many of the technicians that have worked in the department and scheduling pilot plant runs. She also directed many product development projects that lead to new product introductions by Crest custom- ers. On top of her job responsibilities, Shirley became a Weight Watchers Leader and conducted meetings for employees as part of Crest’s employee wellness programs. Her history of past projects, knowledge of Crest customers and overall experience in product development will be missed. Earlier this year, Shirley “test drove” retirement by transitioning to a part time position. It must have gone well as Shirley decided
to retire this summer. She is keeping busy with volunteer work, traveling with her husband Terry and spending time with family, especially her grandchildren. We wish Shirley the best and hope she has a long and wonderful retire- ment. Shirley & Terry Oltmanns
