Water Systems Foreman Mark Milligan is retiring this month after dedicating more than 28 years of service to Conway Corp and the Conway community.
Mark joined the company as a utility worker apprentice in 1996. He was promoted to utility worker in 1999 and to his current position in 2005.
During his time at Conway Corp, Mark oversaw the maintenance of the water system, including the installation of water and sewer services for new and existing customers.
Water Systems Manager Lee Tedford describes Mark as dedicated, focused and committed to Conway’s growth.
“Mark was instrumental in helping update existing customers’ water and sewer services each and every day,” he said. “He was very detailed with his work and made it a priority to exceed the customers’ expectations. He was always the life of the party. We are going to miss him and the laughter he brought to this group. I hope he gets to enjoy his retirement to the fullest.”
His colleagues also bragged about his sense of humor.
“When Mark first came to Conway Corp, we worked together on the construction crew,” Water Systems Senior Foreman Frank Fason said. “He loved to talk about Hot Springs and he was always entertaining with the many stories he would tell. Fast forward to the present day and Mark is still talking about Hot Springs and still entertaining. I’m thankful for our friendship through the years and the many memories we have together. It was a joy to work with Mark and I wish him the best.”
Safety Director Brent Fason worked with Mark for almost 20 years.
“I had the privilege of working for Mark when I was in water systems,” Brent said. “When my wife and I built our house, I asked for help moving in and Mark was the first to volunteer. That is just who he was. He would always listen first and then give advice if he felt like I needed to hear it.”
“In addition to him being a good leader, he was also an inventor. He came up with so many different ideas through the years that really helped the day-to-day functions at Conway Corp. I consider him a very good friend, and I look forward to spending some time with him at Buffalo Wild Wings cheering on our Cowboys. This has to be our year!”
Congrats, Mark!
