Her Story
Carol Chase retires after 25 years of dedicated service to WARCO. Her last day was July 31, 2012 as we gathered to wish her farewell.
Carol joined the WARCO family on May 14, 1987. Her first position was in the sales department as a Sales Clerk then in 2000 as a Customer Service Representative and finally in 2009 as our Credit Assistant. Carol also helped out at the reception desk; she is always a team player and would help wherever she was needed. Irene at the reception desk remembers Carol sharing her love of books with her. Carol loves to read and would often bring her books in the office to share with others.
Her former Supervisor Oliver Hinkley, Executive Vice President of Sales, spoke very highly of her: “Carol is a hard worker. She is punctual, always ready to help out and do extra work. Customers always liked Carol because she was responsive to them. You can always count on her,” said Oliver.
Many in the office commented that Carol is an easy going person, a giver and very much enjoys life. Carol is also a big cat lover.
Besides being a model employee, Carol is a great baker. Her specialty is sweets. She baked 4th of July, Halloween and Thanksgiving cupcakes, brownies, and many other goodies, we will all miss these yummy treats.
Though the WARCO Family is sorry to be losing such a tremendous asset to our team, we are all very excited for Carol as she embarks on her journey to retirement. We wish her all the best.
Congratulations and Thank You
Please join the WARCO Family in congratulating Carol on her retirement as we thank him for her many years of dedicated service to WARCO.
