Its not often that you find a company where several employees have worked there for long periods of time. Here at Dick Hannah, that is actually the norm rather than the abnormal. The service department at Honda is one example of employees who have chosen to make Dick Hannah Honda their home. I would like to acknowledge 3 technicians who are all celebrating a long employment anniversary of 20 years with the Hannah family. John Parthenay, Jim Hicks, and Ray Henderson.

This month celebrates 20 years of employment for John Parthenay as a technician at Dick Hannah Honda in Vancouver, WA. John has been a technician for over 25 years starting out at a Buick dealer in Portland, OR after he finished his associates degree, in Automotive, at Clark College.
John and his wife Cris, who have been married for 17 years, are raising their 3 boys in Vancouver, WA. When asked what keeps him working for the same company for so long John said ” It’s a great atmosphere, I’m treated well and I feel free to be myself. It’s a very family environment.”
Jim Hicks, who surprisingly met John while at Clark College together, and Ray also celebrated their 20th year with us in 2009. Jim and Ray both live with their families in Vancouver, WA.
I have definitely enjoyed working with them over the years and wanted to say thank you for your service and the positive attitude you bring to work here it makes for a fun work day.
