At the Wednesday, January 17, 2024 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners recognized William Johnson for 30 years of service.
William began his employment as a Maintenance Helper in 1994 and was promoted to a Truck Driver in 1999. In 2001, William began serving as an Equipment Operator where he became efficient in operating a road grader even though he didn't have much experience when he took the position.
Interim Road Director Darren Marsh stated, "People were waiting for him to fail, but he kept on. Before long, I started hearing from the community that he was going a good job. Next thing you know he was getting Christmas cards and birthday cakes. He'd stop when kids came out and let them see the grader. He's just the kind of person. He takes time to know the community".
Several members of Nassau County Fire Rescue were also celebrating years of service but unfortunately unable to attend the meeting. They include Mike Eddins, Kelly Gunnell, Darron Ayscue, Paul Kay, Clay Riddling and Gregory Roberts, all who are celebrating 25 years of service this month.
Congratulations to each of these hardworking employees. We appreciate all that they do and are happy to have them on our team.
