| | Grant Bond on his last day of work Photo provided | | | | | | After 33 years of delivering the mail, Grant Bond hung up his postal hat on Oct. 23. Pictured on his last day at work, heading out to his route one last time, Bond said he will miss the people he developed friendships with during his time on the job. "Many customers took a personal interest in me and my family," Bond said. "My favorite thing was sharing photo cards of me and my wife and two kids every year with many of my customers. My faith in God and my family sustained me through many long days of work. The heartfelt expressions of gratitude I received on my final days of work was overwhelming.? I am happy to look back on my career as a mail carrier with gratitude." Bond is looking forward to spending more time with his family during his retirement and, for now, is enjoying relaxing and doing projects around the house. |
