Watch: Locals Shower US Mailman With Gifts And Balloons On His Last Day At Work

Retirement is a very sad experience for many. A person gets set in his work routine for years and suddenly they become free. It often becomes hard for a person to accept. Recently, an American postman retired. He had been working for 31 years; people had become used to him. To express their love for him, people made his last day very special, the video of which is going viral. Let’s take a look. This video was posted on Instagram, and it shows the story of a man who was a postman in Ohio, USA. The man was working for 31 years in a courier service named USPS Carrier. This man named Bill Buda used to cover a route of 19 kilometres and started recognizing the people there well. People used to share their life stories with him. He had seen many children being born, growing up, and graduating from college.

On his last day, people surprised Bill at different places. People were waiting for him by putting balloons at some places and by putting up hoardings of Happy Retirement at other places. Bill was on the route with his family. When the family members saw the love of the people for Bill, they also became emotional. Bill’s daughter made this video. The children wrote letters to him and gave them to him and also thanked him for his work. “This beloved mailman retired after 31 years, and the entire community came out to celebrate him,” reads the caption.

Bill described his farewell as the perfect way to end his career. “This was the best send-off there could be. What a way to walk off,” he said.
