SERVICE AWARDS BANQUET HONORS OUT-OF-STATE EMPLOYEES Employees from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and New Mexico were honored at the annual Service Awards banquet held at the EnergySolutions Arena on November 6, 2014. Employees were recognized for their 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service with the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies. Jarred Black (LVW) and Ernie Riach (ATO) share a laugh at the banquet. Among those honored were three employees who had been with the Group for more than 30 years; Robert Taylor (LMD), Ken Wallen (HYN), and Greg Sandefer (MAO). Greg worked with the Stevenson Group in Denver and later joined Larry at the newly-acquired Toyota store in Murray, Utah. “Being part of something that grew from a dream into an empire is really rather spectacular,” said Greg. He has many fond memories of working alongside Larry, including being on the receiving end of more than a few 100-mile-per-hour snowballs.
