Long-time District Employees Retire


          JAF Labor Custodians Rosemarie Lombardo and Delia Johnson are turning in the tools of their trade and riding off into the warm glow of retirement.
Johnson, who worked for the Postal Service for 42 years said that, “like any job, there were ups and downs, but I have no regrets. We’re like a family here.”
Assigned to Church Street Station for more than 30 years, Johnson made fast friends when she came to JAF in 2001.
“Delia would cook up enough food to feed 25 people at our employee Christmas Party,” recalls co-worker Maintenance Mechanic Robert Cousins.

          Lombardo, who had the foresight to bank more than 1500 hours of sick leave, has always worked at JAF. “I’ve seen all kinds of changes,” she said. “Different bosses, different schedules, but I never had any problems. We all worked together. It’s been a good experience.”

          With a combined 83 years of service, The New York District is grateful to Rosemarie Lombardo and Delia Johnson for their dedication to service and wishes them a long and happy retirement.
