[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 5090844, member: 47472"] I was just at a memorial in Aug 2021 for a dear friend. Met some 35 years ago, he followed me into feeder, we have been best friends all this time. He retired at 59. Died in less than two years of retirement just turning 61. Bladder Cancer I worked with another guy who bragged that both parents lived to be over 100. He expected he would do the same. He retired at 55 dies 18 months later pancreatic cancer. I will never forget Harry! When I started he mentored me. Gave me sage advice early on in the 70's "Its their dispatch, just give a 100% and let the rest fall on them" I asked him the weeks leading up to retirement watcha gonna do Harry???? He would just say Watch football and drink a few beers. He died less than 6 months later at 65 years of age. Heart attack. Another thing about Harry was he kept telling me "get financially ready for retirement, comes quicker than you think". I took that advice! Take from this what you will on longevity after UPS. Like many I started part time and never thought I would work long term at UPS! Many have said the same thing! I walked out at 49 years of age Retired and HAPPY! 16 plus years for me! [/QUOTE]
