John Moore, who served as a postal worker in Massachusetts for 31 years, transitioned to a part-time floral delivery job after retiring. This decision enabled him to avoid drawing on retirement savings, as he continued to work post-retirement. He shares heartwarming experiences from his deliveries, highlighting the joy flowers bring, even in somber situations. John reminisces about his past, including his daily interactions with local kids and expresses a keen interest in continuing to work rather than fully retiring, embracing the social aspect of his job.
I always planned to work in retirement and immediately started looking for a part-time job after I left the post office.
When you bring flowers, everyone is happy to see you. It's a pleasant surprise in their day.
I don't see myself fully retiring anytime soon; I enjoy my job and the interactions it brings.
I walked about eight miles a day on my route, which was in a residential neighborhood.
