An important cog in the well-oiled machinery of Glueck's Chevrolet in Jasper will soon be missing - Sales Manager Henry Lee. At 87 years of age and after working in the same business for almost 56 years, Lee has decided it's time to retire and spend some time fishing and gardening.
When Lee was 16, he began selling cars in Lakeland, Ga. He later worked for Hercules Powder Company buying stumps for their manufacturing process.
In the 1940s, Lee came to Jasper looking for stumps and found a wife - Marjorie. They were married March 17, 1946, and have lived in Jasper ever since.
Lee began working in the sales department of WGD (Wally Grantham and Dexter) Chevrolet Company on Jan. 1, 1950. C.A. Kennedy bought the business in the mid-sixties and Lee continued working for him. When Kennedy became ill, Lee was the overall manager for approximately eight years. Lee has been the sales manager since Bruce Glueck bought the business in June 1975.
"I have enjoyed working with Henry," Glueck said. "He is the best employee I have ever had. I wouldn't be here, if it wasn't for him."
Lee has two sons - Charles Henry Lee and Christopher Thomas Lee, two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He has been a member of the Methodist Church for 59 years.
All of Henry Lee's friends are invited to attend a reception in his honor at Glueck's Chevrolet from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. on Dec. 22.
