Happy Retirement Scott & Sue! Two of our longer tenured managers have recently made the decision that now would be a good time to test the retirement waters. Sue Osborne, Production Manager and Crest employee for 27 years, and Scott Storey, Purchasing Manager and Crest employee of 28 years, have made it official that there will now be an “ex” in front of their Crest status. Sue put her experience in manufacturing to work when she started with Crest and has been involved with the supervision and management of the packaging production department from the start. She has been a steadying influence in a period when packaging has seen nothing but change and growth. Her understanding of our operation combined with her true compassion for those that work in her area was much appreciated and will be missed. Sue plans to keep her roots in this area, but hopes to put many miles on her RV exploring the good old USA. Scott came to Crest looking for a steady job and found a career. He started on the production floor of the Ingredient Division and quickly found a home in our Purchasing Department becoming the Operational Purchas- ing Manager. He developed programs and systems where there were none that kept us always supplied and incorporated Crest culture into his style of

purchasing which resulted in many strong relationships that will serve us well for years to come. Scott is leaving the ever-changing climate of Illinois to build a home in Florida and bring the golf courses in the Sunshine State to their knees. We wish both Sue and Scott much happiness in their retirements and thank them for all they have done for Crest and the lasting impressions they have made with many. Wishing Nancy Gleissner a Happy Retirement! Nancy Gleissner has been a welcoming, positive face in Quality Assurance for many years, and a member of the Crest family since 1996. Nancy first began her career as a part timer working in production as part of a job sharing initiative Crest had a long time ago. She was then asked to work doing special projects at the warehouse and over- see a high school crew. I am sure many words of wisdom were shared with those youth, as Nancy has a wonderful positive outlook on EVERY situation and could brighten the dreariest of days! She eventually worked full time in production until she joined the QA team. That was a great day for QA!
On Thursday September 30th, 2021 Nancy worked her last shift in the lab, which was an exciting day for her, but a bitter sweet one for us. We appreciate her and will miss her greatly! Nancy will be enjoying her many hobbies and time with her husband, John who also recently retired, and her family, doing the things she loves and no doubt spreading sunshine wherever she goes! On behalf of the QA department and all of Crest Foods, we thank Nancy for 25 years of service and wish her the very best!
