S.E. Minor Celebrates the Retirement of Veteran Survey Party Chief, William “Billy” Reid
After an illustrious 48-year career with S.E. Minor, William “Billy” Reid is retiring from his role as Field Crew Chief. Joining the company in August 1976, Billy’s exceptional skills soon elevated him to Party Chief within the Land Surveying Department. Known for his precision, leadership, and commitment to excellence, Billy has been instrumental in upholding and enhancing our reputation in land surveying. His dedication to the field and mentoring of new surveyors has left an indelible mark on both our company and the industry.
Billy and the Reid family have been an integral part of the Greenwich community for many generations. His wife, Elizabeth, is a nurse at Eagle Hill School, and their son, Mike, is a Math Coordinator for Greenwich Public Schools. Their daughter, Bonnie (Reid) Calderon, taught at Brunswick School and North Mianus Elementary, and now continues her career at the Wheeler School in Providence, Rhode Island.
In retirement, Billy looks forward to perfecting his golf swing and enjoying time with his grandchildren. But don’t be surprised to see him back at S.E. Minor part-time this fall, bringing his expertise, mentorship and maybe a few golf stories to share!
In honor of Billy’s retirement, S.E. Minor is hosting a farewell celebration in Greenwich on June 27, where colleagues and friends will gather to celebrate his remarkable career.
