Now after 36 years here at Merchants & Farmers, I finally made it to this day. I would like to thank the board members and bank officers who have given me the opportunity to serve this
community. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many wonderful customers and people in the community, and have worked with great employees. My retirement plans include spending time with family and friends, doing a little fishing, taking a few cruises, and deer hunting. Again, thank you all for making this day possible for me,” states Casey.
