My (now deceased) uncle was a postal worker here in Tulsa for many years. He would go out of his way to help anyone anyhow he could. A kind gentle soul. Have some pictures I took of him and J. Inholfe when he was mayor here. Your husband sounds like he was a real gentleman. God Bless You and may the spirit of the Lord be with you and your family in your time of need...

He was just that and more. His route was one that consisted mainly of nursing homes and assisted living complexes. He would tell me stories of the ladies on his route that would put cookies out for him and if he didnt take it, they would shove it in his bag or leave it on the seat of his truck. He got alot of joy from his work on the good days and put up with alot of gruff on the bad ones. He had to dig his truck out of many snowbanks and spent hours everyday in 114 degree heat in a truck with no air conditioning. Next summer when you see your mailman out there in the heat, remember there is no air conditioning in those trucks. Im sorry if I ramble but I am still in shock over the cruel words written to me and my family this morning. I am just glad that my father is on the road and didnt get a chance to read those hurtful things. Thanks to the moderator for removing that person from this caring forum.
