Retirement or farewell speech for a colleague

- Balance achievements with character: how they treated people and what they taught others.
- Use light humor they would enjoy hearing in front of family and senior leaders.
- Do not mention age or health unless I did, and skip clichés about big shoes to fill.
- Close with a sincere wish for what comes next and a cue for the room to raise a glass or applaud.
