Kevin was hired in Inventory Control in September of 2002. In 2012, he made his home in Purchasing.

Kevin is thoughtful, kind, humorous, and charming. He is incredibly helpful and will always go above and beyond in every aspect of the task on hand, whether it is in his home department or another department he is assisting in. His follow-through is amazing, and he will never leave a job unfinished or a question unanswered.

Kevin is honest, hardworking, reliable, and committed to Willow Run Foods. He will often offer a helping hand to any department that needs assistance. He does whatever it takes to get things done in a timely, accurate, and efficient manner, no matter what the assignment is.

Kevin more than deserves the title Employee of the Year. It is a privilege to call him a coworker, and more than that, a friend. It is with great pleasure we award him this honor. Thank you for all you do, Kevin.

Congratulations!
