Last week, we had the privilege of attending the UAW Local 863 Retiree Luncheon—a chance to reconnect with the incredible men and women who helped shape the legacy of Ford in our region. On behalf of everyone at Queen City Ford, we want to sincerely thank Tod Turner, James Siuda, Pamela Bullard, Regina Richmond, and Dan Murphy for welcoming us so warmly.
Our team was represented by David Godbey (Fixed Operations Director), Andre Eddings (QCF Sales), and Charlie Watson (Marketing Director), who were honored to spend time with the retirees and thank them in person for all they’ve done over the years.
Charlie had the opportunity to speak during the luncheon and share some exciting updates from our dealerships, including the launch of our new 40,000 sq. ft. service center at Mt. Orab Ford, plus current Ford incentives, low-interest financing, and the Reds ticket promotion that comes with a qualifying tire purchase (now through April 30th)!
But most importantly, we wanted to let every retiree know: you’re still part of the family. Whether it’s help with a vehicle, service needs, or just a question, we’re always here. Jim shared this sentiment as well, encouraging retirees to reach out to him or Tod if there’s ever anything we can do to help ensure they’re taken care of.
The UAW team also shared some exciting updates of their own—from new bylaws and facility upgrades (including a refreshed lobby and new TV) to fun retiree perks like free trips and community programs aimed at keeping everyone active and engaged.
As proud sponsors of the event, Queen City Ford was grateful for the chance to provide lunch and show our appreciation to the retirees and their families. It was a day full of meaningful conversations, laughs, and shared gratitude.
To all the UAW Local 863 retirees—thank you for your hard work and legacy. We’re proud to stand with you and look forward to seeing you again soon.
