DSP Bill McMahon Retires after 34 Years with Dungarvin Minnesota

Dungarvin Minnesota colleagues and leaders gathered to celebrate the career of Bill McMahon, a Direct Support Professional who was with the organization for 34 years. He supported individuals with disabilities in a New Brighton group home called “the 15th.” In the shade of party tents set up in the yard outside the home, the group enjoyed a catered lunch, including BBQ ribs and chicken, steak and all the fixings, from one of Bill’s favorite restaurants, Texas Roadhouse. And, of course, there was cake.

Bill’s wife Sue – also a retired Dungarvin employee – attended, as did several of Bill’s colleagues, both past and present. His team’s entire chain of command was there, including operations and program directors and managers, Dungarvin CEO Lori Kress and Dungarvin Founders Tim and Diane Madden. And two of the individuals Bill supported for nearly three decades, as well as their guardians, came to celebrate.

When asked how he felt about his career with Dungarvin now behind him, Bill replied: “The best part of my job was all the activities, van rides and outings with the people we supported throughout the year.”

Bill opened gifts, several people spoke about him and his career, and the party ended with everyone singing “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.”

What a wonderful send-off for such a beloved, dedicated staff member who devoted so many years to supporting people with disabilities. Congratulations, Bill, for your amazing career and for now having the opportunity to relax and enjoy retirement!
