FAIRFIELD, Ohio â One by one, they kept walking through the front door of the Skyline Chili on Hicks Boulevard.
They were longtime Skyline customers, Fairfield firefighters, neighbors, co-workers and the mayor.
They were all there to see Duane Sparks and celebrate his retirement after 35 years as dishwater, bus boy and greeter at the Butler County chili parlor.
Sparks, 52, was hired when he was an 18-year-old client at Butler County Developmental Disabilities. He started at the Skyline across the street and moved to the Hicks Boulevard location when it opened about 25 years ago.
