YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD
to
DAVID RENSHAW
In November of 1981, David Renshaw was hired as an entry level Mechanic and has
since served the Plantation Key Public Works Facilities as Lead Mechanic/Jack of All Trades.
For the past 25 years, Mr. Renshaw has given all he's had to give, while working with
Fleet Management, Public Works, and Monroe County.
Per his immediate supervisors and department heads, he is truly one of the most
remarkable and committed of all County employees. One was quoted as saying, "If there is
anyone who believes service to Monroe County government is the highest career calling," that,
without a doubt, would be Mr. Renshaw.
He will always stop what he's doing to help others and he wilt never turn down any
individual, department, or agency when called upon. He has been known to go out of his way,
on his own time to raise money for those that may be less fortunate. He will come in early,
work thru lunch, and/or go home late, whatever it takes to get the job done. It is a fact that he can
not pass up someone broken down on the side of the road without stopping to assist.
On at least one occasion after a hurricane, he ignored the trees that had fallen on his own
home to assist the County for many days with its clean up instead. On several occasions, after
volunteering at the County's Upper Keys Animal Shelter, Mr. Renshaw adopted an unwanted
mother cat, a litter of kittens, and a number of older dogs, because the dogs' time were up, and
because he felt the mother and litter would be better off together in a good home.
David Renshaw is truly an asset to Fleet Management, Public Works and Monroe
County, and we are extremely proud to recognize him for his 25 plus years of dedicated and
loyal service.
