On December 31, 2018, Larry Caplinger officially retired from F&M Bank. After 46 years of service, we would all like to wish Larry well as he enters this new stage. Although retired from day to day employment, Larry will continue to serve on F&M Bank's Board of Directors.
Larry joined the bank in 1972 as a note teller and quickly rose through the organization. He became Assistant Cashier in 1975, AVP in 1978 and VP in 1983. In 1990, he was promoted to the position of Senior Lending Officer and Senior Vice President. Following this progression, Larry was promoted to Executive Vice President in 2007 and was elected to the F&M Board of Directors in 2012.
During his tenure, F&M Bank experienced great growth and success. In addition to his invaluable contributions at the bank, Larry has actively supported the local communities in the Shenandoah Valley. He is a lifetime member of the Timberville Volunteer Fire Department and was the Assistant Chief of that organization for 10 years.
Larry, F&M Bank cannot thank you enough for your many years of service, and you will be missed! If you see Larry around the community, join us in wishing him the best!
