A veteran collision repair professional is retiring after 48 years in the trade.
Guy Denis, a long-serving technician and team fixture at CSN Turpin Capital Collision, officially retired this week after 48 years working at the facility.
Co-owner Danny Frangione framed the departure as both a professional loss and a moment of personal joy, noting that Guy had spent his final stretch at the facility preparing the next generation.
“He was incredible — someone you build a team around,” Frangione said. “His retirement is a big loss to the shop, but he did his due diligence and trained up his replacement. You could not ask for a better colleague.”
His colleagues marked the milestone with a series of celebrations that underscored the depth of his relationships across the business. A dinner with his spouse and close co-workers took place two weeks before his final shift. This was followed by a larger gathering on his last day that drew several former colleagues back into the shop. Denis, in turn, distributed gifts and personalized notes to many of the guests.
The send-off extended beyond the immediate location to the broader organization. In a social media post, the shop and its parent group, Bemac Collision Group, highlighted both tenure and temperament. “What a day to celebrate him with all of my team and his family. Congrats Guy on your retirement. CSN Turpin Capital Collision and the entire Bemac Collision Group will miss you and wish you the best.”
Frangione added that Denis was a steadying presence famous for his shop floor mantra — “everything will be okay.”
