???? Farewell to the Legend: Fred Kemp’s Retirement! ???? Last week, after over three decades of dedication and nearly half a century shaping the automotive industry, our very own Fred Kemp is shifting gears toward a new chapter filled with colorful Hawaiian shirts and endless adventures! Fred's journey with Keystone Automotive Operations began as a customer in the bustling streets of New York. Little did he know his path would lead him to Greensboro, NC, where he would join our sales team and become an integral part of our family. Throughout his tenure, Fred has been the epitome of leadership and mentorship, guiding both teammates and customers with unwavering dedication. His mantra of "do the right thing" has not only earned him the esteemed title of "Salesperson of the Year" in 2008 but also the admiration of everyone he's crossed paths with. Beyond the office walls, Fred's passion for automobiles has ignited countless conversations and inspired many. As Fred embarks on his next adventure as "Pops", we have no doubt that this role will be his most fulfilling yet. Whether it's spending time with family or immersing himself in the local car scene, Fred's passion for life will continue to shine brightly. Congratulations, Fred, on your well-deserved retirement! Here's to the next chapter filled with endless joy and unforgettable memories. ???? #FredsNextChapter #RetirementCelebration #AutomotiveLegend
