A local EMS employee was recognized for his years of service Thursday by his boss and co workers.
Richard “Dick” Kinsey is retiring.
Kinsey has worked for the DeKalb EMS operation, mostly in a part time role as an Advanced EMT since 2002.
Director Hoyte Hale presented Kinsey a plaque which reads:
“In appreciation
Richard “Dick” Kinsey
AEMT
The DeKalb County Ambulance Service would like to thank you for your unselfish service to the ambulance service and all the persons you have responded to throughout your many years. If we were to do a review of your many years of service to our organization we would find the true spirit of dedication to our service. Have a prosperous and happy retirement.

“I wish I had more employees like him. He was very dedicated and dependable and was always willing to come to work, even when called at the last minute if needed,” said EMS Director Hale.
Kinsey also worked for Dura Automotive Systems in Gordonsville prior to his retirement there.
