Where I work it is not uncommon for retirees to leave with 40+ years of service, so I have heard many of the speeches like you are about to give. In another dozen years or so, I hope to give one myself. From hearing them, I can only offer a few suggestions from the audience perspective. Keep it light, it will be an emotional time, but try not to get too heavy. In that amount of time there were bound to have been conflicts and disappointments along the way, but don't use it as a chance to "get even" with anybody or anything. Leaving with your head high and dignity intact is the sweetest revenge anyway. If there are humorous memories, tell a few stories of times past. Talk about how footloose and fancy free you will now be, just to make everybody jealous. An old favorite is to talk about how little you made when you first started. In those years I'm sure you made many friends, so keep in touch after you leave. I know we enjoy a visit now and then from our retirees. I hope you have a long and happy retirment.
