Century Resident Retires After 11 Years With Escambia County Facilities

December 2, 2011

Louie Eugene (Gene) Findley of Century retired this week from Escambia County Facilities Management/Maintenance. He worked for Escambia County for 11 years after retiring from the Westinghouse Corp.

Findley’s work took him across the North Escambia area — often to the community centers, fire departments, tax and tag offices, Clerk of Courts offices, and Lake Stone.

Escambia County Public Works held a retirement party Wednesday for Findley, celebrating his accomplishments for Escambia County.
