Goodbye Gary...
It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to our good friend and colleague Gary Lisher, who is leaving today after 10 years at Chapel Lane Stores. Gary came along when we were struggling with the new post office and with his long experience of the PO, offered to help us for a while until we got the hang of it. He found he enjoyed it and decided to stay on with us. He has been a tower of strength in difficult times - Gordon's illness and Covid to name just two. He has been so generous with his time, doing many extra shifts to help out. And of course, he is a firm favourite with all the customers, who love his wit and natural ease with anybody and everybody. His skills at banter and insults are unmatched😂. I have cried on his shoulder and cried with laughter. It's a rare day we don't have a huge laugh together.
So, thank you Gary for everything - we will miss you very much.
Rachel and Gordon
ps can we have our pens back? 😂
