Vincent Honored at Retirement Luncheon

(Waynesboro, Va.) Robert Vincent was honored by a luncheon on October 26. He retired from McClung after 29 years of service. He was an estimator most of his time at McClung, having started in the prepress department. He was in charge of ordering paper and had a wealth of knowledge about paper, the printing process and project planning. He was the unofficial historian of McClung and collected various items of the printing trade.

The luncheon included a smorgasbord of food, several toasts to Robert and a presentation of gifts and a scrapbook of photos. A number of retirees and former employees attended.

“We are blessed with fantastic employees but I always thought Robert was special,” noted Tom Trevillian, McClung Chairman. “His work was so reliable and he never missed a detail. If a customer or employee had a difficult problem, Robert could solve it. Robert was probably one of the most intelligent persons I have ever met in our industry. He will be sorely missed by our customers and staff. Our industry has lost a real pro to a well-deserved retirement.”

Vincent and his wife live in Staunton on a family farm where he raises cattle (one of the last farms in the city). He enjoys cooking, Civil War history, antiques and reading.
