Happy Retirement!
Vern Lundberg passed away March 16, 2018. Vern was the owner and manager of Lundberg Construction who had been our primary contractor at Crest for over 20 years. Vern, his son in law Steve Miley and their crew are responsible for building all of the Crest and Karlin facilities on Route 38 West of Ashton. This area was a corn field when they started and it is currently home to over 1 million square feet of buildings…that translates to more than 23 acres of land under roof. In Memory of Vern Lundberg Thirty years and two months after starting work at Crest Foods in the Mainte- nance Department as a Line Mechanic, Lynn Spangler decided to hang up his tool belt. Fondly known as Spanky by his co-workers, Lynn was a familiar face on second shift as he worked his way through problems that were keeping our production lines from running at their peak. Spanky thought he was going to get away without any fanfare but when he made a quick visit his co-workers were pre- pared with a cake to commemorate his time at Crest Foods. Lynn, thank you for thirty years with the company, and we wish you well with much enjoyment in your retirement. Mornie Snodgrass started her career at Crest Foods on June 5th, 1973 work- ing in our Production Department. She has worked her way through many departments over the years, but finds herself celebrating 45 years with the com- pany as a part of the Scheduling Department, her home for the last 20 years. Co-workers brought in flowers and donuts to celebrate Morine’s 45th anniversary this June. Congratulations and thank you, Morine! Happy 45 Years, Morine!
Vern was a little gruff and never shy to voice his opinion, but his word was as good as gold and we valued him as a true business partner who was very much a part of the Crest family. Vern and Steve have both passed and Lundberg Construction is no longer an entity, but they have made a lasting impression on those at Crest that they have touched and will always be fondly remembered. Our condolences and well wishes go out to his family…Rest in peace Vern.
