We are delighted to celebrate the retirement of Rick Crandall, District Manager in our SoCal Division, who has given 52 years of service to our company and industry. Rick started his career as a box boy at Dales Market in 1971 and through the years has held various positions, from bottle sorter to District Manager.
Rick is an exemplary leader and colleague, who has made a lasting impact on our operations, culture, and sustainability. One of the most rewarding aspects of his career has been the opportunity to mentor and promote numerous associates, encouraging them to grow professionally. Rick is also proud of the sustainability efforts he led for the retail industry when he held the position of Director of Environmental Stewardship.
Rick will be greatly missed by his team and peers, but we wish him all the best in his new chapter as he looks forward to spending more time outdoors, pursuing activities like hiking, boating, fishing and skiing, enjoying Los Angeles Dodgers games and cherishing moments with his friends and family, including his three daughters: Jenny, Colleen, and Casey, and five grandchildren. Rick and his wife Christine will also celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year.
Please join us in congratulating Rick on his remarkable, customer-driven career and thanking him for his dedication and loyalty. Rick, you are a legend, and we hope you enjoy your well-deserved retirement!
