PARKERSBURG – At approximately 6:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 26, Bill Crites will unlock the door at Kincheloe Motors and turn the lights on for the last time.

Crites is retiring after 40 years of service, the business announced.

“He has been committed to serving the company and our customers in vehicle sales and service over his tenure,” said Joe Kincheloe, co-owner of Kincheloe Motors.

Crites began his career with Kincheloe Motors in November 1985 after retiring from Keiser Aluminum. An invaluable part of the team, Kincheloe said, Crites has been known for punctuality, thoroughness, commitment to excellence and his unwavering desire to over-deliver on the task at hand.

Over the years, Crites contributed greatly to Kincheloe Motors’ sales awards and Chrysler Five Star designation, as well as the qualities the business highly values and maintains in an effort to ensure customers’ satisfaction and repeat business, Kincheloe said.

“Words fail to illustrate how grateful Kincheloe Motors is for his service and contributions as he is wished a well-earned retirement,” he said.
