“I’m satisfied,” Brown said. “The Postal Service gave me a job to take care of my family.”

The 90-year-old said he doesn’t plan on leaving his job anytime soon because he doesn’t want to become a “couch potato.”

“[The job] keeps me busy and active, and I’m around people.”

Natashi Garvins, a communications specialist with the USPS, said Brown’s work ethic doesn’t go unnoticed.

“[The manager] is very protective of him,” Garvins said. “She brings him a Snickers bar every day because he like Snickers. And she makes sure they have one-on-one time every day before she gets her day started.”
