I was so sorry to hear of Goldies passing. He is one of the reasons I made my 90 day trial period with the Post Office. He would see me frustrated and say to me "hang in there kid. Don't let them get to you". He had an infectious smile that I have missed seeing since he retired. Rest in peace my friend & thank you for your words of encouragement when I needed it.
