A huge congratulations to Lee, who reaches an incredible 13 years with us today! π
Lee first came to work with me running βThe Lilly Bar & Grillβ and when that chapter ended, we sold and focused on our main company- he made the move over to our true home, The Lilly Restaurant with rooms π₯°
He has tried leaving a couple of times over the years and still has other employment, but somehow always found his way back! π At this point, Iβm not sure if itβs loyalty, good judgement, or simply the inability to escape π
Jokes aside, Lee has been one of the most trusted, reliable, and loyal people Iβve ever worked with. Through busy services, challenges, successes, and everything in between, heβs always been someone (and at some points- the only persons!) I could count on.
What makes this milestone even more special is that somewhere along the way, the working relationship turned into a genuine friendship. Thatβs something far more valuable than any number of years on a calendar.
All of our regulars know Lee, and many come back as much to see him as they do for the food and drink. Over the years, heβs gone from employee to friend, and Iβm incredibly grateful for everything heβs done and continues to do.
Sooβ¦ Thank you for 13 years, Lee. Weβre lucky to have you, (even if we couldnβt quite let you get away when you tried! π»π)
Hereβs to many more years ahead! π»
(Apologies for the swearing! Thatβs Lee π see how far heβs come from all those years ago swearing to now at our wedding π₯° even smiling) xx
