STEPTOE - A local man who has provided nearly a half-century of service to area farmers and others is retiring.
Don "Bones" McClintok retired from Pape Machinary after working with Arrow Machinery for 40 years and Pape nine.
Pape hosted a retirement party for him last week.
McClintok's connectoins go back decades.
"Bones and I go back 49 years," 96-year-old former owner Joe Henderson said as the party was getting underway. "He started working for me his sophomore year of high school."
Henderson noted the facility was first built in 1974.
McClintok said Dennis Solbrack, Phil Henderson and Mike Parrish had taken over Arrow Machinery in 1982.
There were three generations of Pape Machinary owners at the retirement party all excited to celebrate the retirement of McClintok and his wife.
