Technician Francis Manlick Celebrates 50 Year Anniversary Milestone

Joining the organization back in 1974, 50 Years with one company is not an accomplishment often seen. We are proud to congratulate Francis Manlick, Diesel Technician, at Ascendance Truck Centers in Marshfield on this milestone accomplishment. Thank you, Francis, for your exceptional work and dedication to the company, your colleagues, and customers.

In his 50 years with the company, Francis has tackled many fields. He is a certified technician, frame rack technician, and previously was the main wrecker operator for many years. Francis has dedicated many late nights and early mornings to being pulled away from his family to help drivers in need. This is just one example of Francis' above and beyond attitude.

Manager Chris LaBarge says, "Francis is the epitome of dedication, he has been with us for 50 years. Years ago, he was an engine guy, and now specializes in frames, alignments and suspensions. Francis also works closely with our body shop. He was a tow truck operator up until a couple of years ago. The wrecks this man has seen and the stories he has to share are amazing. In all honesty, Francis has probably forgotten more about turning wrenches than most of us will ever even know. He is always willing to help out where he is needed and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the "Good ol Stuff'. Thanks, Francis, for the countless years of hard work and dedication!!"

Francis says, "I've got 50 years down, and no plans to retire any time soon!"
