Paul Erickson, a.k.a Driver Paul, is retiring after over 14 years of service to the Rose City Senior Center.
Paul started as a Driver with the Senior Center on April 18, 2005. During his many years of excellent service he was a very loyal and responsible employee who strived to give the best possible service he could. Paul was very kind-hearted and always willing to go above and beyond (although sometimes with a little grumble).
Anyone who knew Paul, knew to always expect some sarcasm, a witty little joke and most definitely a warm smile. Even through some of his aches and pains and occasional ailments he was sure to keep those qualities going. He impressed us all with his willingness to work through some difficult times.
Paul’s commitment to the Rose City Senior Center was second to none. As a person and an employee, you simply couldn’t find anyone better. We wish Paul and his beautiful wife of over 50 years the best in his retirement and hope to see his smiling face on occasion here at the Rose City Senior Center.
