91-year-old mailman retires with perfect record

Sleet, snow, rain, heat — nothing got in the way of Jack Lund during his nearly 70 years as a mailman.

Lund, 91, joined the U.S. Postal Service in 1949. He spent his career in Richfield, Utah, and retired on Wednesday with a perfect record, always delivering his mail despite encountering bad weather, his mail truck breaking down, or other issues, ABC 4 reports.

His co-workers say Lund is more than just dependable — he's also honest and friendly. During his retirement ceremony, Lund was honored with a U.S. flag and special postal artwork. Catherine Garcia
