Today marks the last day of an amazing 52-year career for Dean Tanner at Viox & Viox.
Dean joined Viox & Viox in 1974 right out of high school and has been a dedicated part of our team ever since. Over the past five decades, he has helped shape countless projects across Northern Kentucky while witnessing the civil engineering industry evolve from hand drafting and calculations to today’s computer-based design.
Known around the office as “Dean-o,” Dean will be remembered for his patience, loyalty, humor, and the many friendships he built over the years. From coffee and donuts in the office to NCAA hat drawings, Christmas parties, and playing the guitar at Vioxpalooza, Dean has been part of so many memories that helped shape the culture of Viox & Viox.
One of Dean’s proudest accomplishments was the Ryle High School Site Plan, the last major site plan he completed entirely by hand. When asked to describe his 52 years at Viox & Viox in one word, Dean chose “Service.” We could not think of a better word to describe the impact he has had on our company, our team, and our clients.
Dean, thank you for your dedication, loyalty, and contributions over the last 52 years. Congratulations on your retirement and this well-deserved next chapter! 🎉
