After nearly 47 years of extraordinary passion and service to Grayhill, Dick has decided to retire on August 1, 2022. In our company's 78-year history, few have had as much of an impact on our success as Dick Neumann. His presence will be missed by our customers, Sales Reps, and most of all by those of us who have had the good fortune of working with him over the years.
After graduating from TCU in 1962, Dick went to work for Grigsby as a Purchasing Agent. From there, he joined the Sales Rep firm Hill Gray, where he was first introduced to Grayhill products. Dick was recruited to Grayhill in 1976 as our Western Regional Sales Manager. Over his career in Sales, he was the voice of our customers as the National Sales Manager, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Vice President of Special Projects. Along the way, he also became a legend in the Electronics industry for his candor and passion. The list of Dick's awards and accomplishments are too numerous to list in this memo.
Like so many others, I am fortunate to count Dick as a co-worker, mentor, and great friend. Your kids sat on his lap at Christmas time as he played Santa Claus at Grayhill for the past 40 years (and he'll do so again this December). His passion for our customers as well as those he worked with embodies everything that is great about Grayhill. He has had an impact on the lives and careers of countless Grayhill Associates and North American Sales Reps. This will be his lasting legacy.
Over the coming weeks, we will be finalizing and communicating plans for recognizing him and celebrating his retirement. Please join me in congratulating him on his distinguished career.
